Description:
Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir on Friday said that negative propaganda and social media trolls could not distract the nation from working for the development and prosperity of Pakistan and its people.
The army chief expressed these remarks while addressing the Green Pakistan Initiative conference.
In July last year, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had inaugurated the initiative along with the army chief which aims to bring investment worth billions of dollars in the next four to five years in the agriculture sector in Pakistan.
The premier said that the Green Pakistan Initiative would be the second green revolution, paving the way for prosperity and progress in the country.

He stated that under this programme, the government anticipated an average investment of 30 to 50 billion dollars in Pakistan over the next three to four years. “Our efforts are focused to enhance productivity and transform barren land into fertile ground which will significantly bolster our revenues."
“We are all a united team Pakistan – Inshallah with the cooperation and support of the people, all efforts of those who distract and obstruct Pakistan’s development journey will fail,” the COAS said during the conference today.
He said that the armed forces of the country with the support of the nation would fail all the inimical forces bent on impeding Pakistan’s development and prosperity.
“In today’s era, complete independence without economic stability is not possible, whereas no instability would be tolerated in Pakistan’s journey of prosperity and development. Let us all reject negative forces together and focus on Pakistan’s journey of development and stability,” he said.

He expressed his determination to steer Pakistan out of the prevailing crisis. "We have decided to lead Pakistan out of the current crisis," he said.
"The army belongs to the people, and the people belong to the army,” the COAS added, emphasising the strong bond between the armed forces and the people.
