In an interview with Gulf News, COAS deems political intolerance, terrorism and the economy the biggest challenges for the country.

General Bajwa, due to retire on November 29, told Gulf News in an interview that “no nation is secure by its defence forces alone. While the armed forces of Pakistan are ready to sacrifice our lives for the motherland, we cannot succeed without the support of our people, especially the large, dynamic and industrious youth of Pakistan, which constitutes around 60 per cent of our total population.”
