Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir interacted with a delegation of students from Harvard Business School representing multiple countries during their visit to Pakistan, the military’s media wing said on Friday.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), “the interaction focused on regional and global developments, Pakistan’s security outlook and efforts to promote peace, stability and prosperity in the region and beyond.”

CDF Munir highlighted the importance of education, skill development and entrepreneurship among young people, as well as the need to apply “fact-based analytics” to contribute meaningfully in an increasingly volatile world prone to social media and propaganda.
