CJCSC calls on Turkish President


ISLAMABAD, March 17 (APP): Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) General Khalid Shameem Wynne, who is on an official visit to Turkey, called on Turkish President Abdullah Gull on Thursday.

General Wynne cancels visit to US

ISLAMABAD: General Khalid Shameem Wynne, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, on Friday cancelled a scheduled visit to the United States, a military official said.

Alluding to the fallout from a unilateral US commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on May 2, the senior official told AFP the visit had been cancelled “in view of the prevailing environment”.

“General Khalid Shameem Wynne contacted his counterpart in the US, Admiral Mike Mullen, and informed him about the cancellation of his visit to the US that was scheduled from May 22 to 27,” the official said.

The Pakistani official told AFP that the visit to the United States had been at the invitation of Mullen and was scheduled a couple of months ago.

Wynne informed Mullen by telephone that he would not be coming, the official added, but declined to give any further details.

Under growing domestic pressure to punish Washington for the Bin Laden raid, the government said Thursday it would review counter-terrorism cooperation with the United States.

It was unclear if the move was intended as a threat, but it showed the extent of the task facing US Senator John Kerry as he prepares to embark on a mission to shore up badly strained ties with Washington’s fractious ally.

Islamabad - June 29, 2011:
Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC), General Khalid Shameem Wynne has said that “As long as the Kashmir issue remains un-resolved, this region is likely to remain unstable. We must therefore continue to find ways and means to find a just solution of the Kashmir dispute as it is only fair to all the people who dwell in this region and the world at large”. He made these remarks while addressing the convocation ceremony of National Security and War Course and Allied Officers War Course at National Defence University, Islamabad.
While addressing to the audience Chairman JCSC said “As you know, we are combating wholeheartedly the menace of extremism and terrorism prevailing in our society. The people and the Armed Forces of Pakistan have taken up this challenge and our soldiers as well as innocent civilians are sacrificing their lives for this cause. Recent changes announced in our neighborhood have geo-strategic implications. We have to first accurately analyse this coming paradigm and thereafter, if required, adjust our policies to meet the likely challenges. Self reliance and pre-eminence of national interests should be our guiding principles.
Congratulating the graduates comprising armed forces officers, civil bureaucrats of Pakistan and senior officers from friendly countries on successful completion of the course, General Khalid expressed hope that the enhanced knowledge, competence, capacity for analysis and decision making would make them an asset for a nation and the world at large. He also applauded the efforts of the faculty and management of National Defence University.
Earlier on arrival at NDU, Chairman JCSC was received by Lieutenant General Agha Muhammad Umer Farooq (President NDU)

Hi guys, need to know the true nature of the role of Chairman Joint Chief of Staff. Is it only a slot to be filled-up to keep someone happy with no material participative role in overlooking & coordinating the three services.

Do excuse me for such ignorance.

Thanks

CJCSC has no real power over military business which is concentrated in the chiefs of the armed forces, and mainly the army chief (COAS).

CJCSC is mainly responsible for administrative duties of coordination between the armed forces and has some responsibility for the defence industries, the nuclear issue (member of NCA), and ISI (administratively connected to the Joint Staff HQ).

So far, all attempts to strengthen CJCSC failed as COAS and his colleagues are reluctant to give away parts of their authority.
