RAWALPINDI: Outgoing Chief of Army Staff Gen Raheel Sharif on Monday chaired a farewell Corps Commanders’ Conference at General Headquarters.

General Raheel is going to retire tomorrow, and will hand over command stick to the newly-appointed COAS Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa at an impressive ceremony to be held at GHQ.

The newly-appointed Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa, corps commanders and principal staff officers were attended the meeting, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

The corps commanders paid tribute to Gen Raheel for his leadership and professional acumen, and lauded his service to the country, ISPR said.

Gen Raheel congratulated the army chief designate for his elevation to the rank of General and appointment as COAS, the statement said.

Gen Raheel said it was a matter of great pride for him to have commanded the most battle-hardened army in the world for three years.

He appreciated the corps commanders for their cooperation during his tenure and said the successes achieved during his tenure would not have been possible without contributions by each one of them.
