Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Wednesday advised the youth to have confidence in themselves, adhere to merit, follow the rule of law and not look for shortcuts in life for success.

Interacting with the youth undergoing an annual internship programme at Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), he expressed “full confidence in Pakistani youth and expected them to play their due role to take Pakistan to its rightful destination of progress and prosperity.”

He said Pakistan was blessed with dynamic and talented youth and that the future of Pakistan belongs to them. “Pakistan had been subjected to numerous challenges especially during the last two decades,” an ISPR statement quoted the COAS as saying.
