Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir has officially been presented with the Baton of Field Marshal in a prestigious ceremony held at the President House in Islamabad.
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif conferred the Baton on General Syed Asim Munir, who became the second Field Marshal in Pakistan’s history, following his promotion on May 20, 2025, for his leadership during Operation Bunyanum Marsoos.
Chief ministers of Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan, federal ministers, services chiefs, and senior officials also attended the meeting.
Initially, the ceremony was scheduled for Wednesday but was postponed at the personal request of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir due to the tragic Khuzdar incident, where a school bus bombing claimed several lives, including children.
