He assured that Balochistan's significance, as well as national pride, remains untarnished.
General Munir affirmed the steadfast alliance between the Pakistan Army and its citizens, underscoring the certainty of overcoming challenges together. He referred to the overseas Pakistanis as ambassadors and 'radiant lights', and rejected the idea of brain drain, describing it instead as 'brain gain'.
