He urged the newly graduated officers to apply strategic foresight, analytical skills and joint operational approaches in addressing these challenges.
He cautioned against misinformation, ethnic sentiments and divisive narratives, warning that such factors pose serious risks to national unity and public trust in the Armed Forces.
Focus on Welfare, Capacity Building
