General Bajwa appreciated the measures to optimize the performance of ISI in ensuring that the country responds effectively to threats across the spectrum. — ISPR
RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa visited the headquarters of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) on Monday and was briefed in detail on the internal and external security situation of the country, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
"[The] COAS was given a detailed update on the internal and external security situation of the country," the Inter-Services Public Relations said.
General Bajwa appreciated the measures to optimize the performance of ISI in ensuring that the country responds effectively to threats across the spectrum, it said.
Earlier on arrival, Director-General ISl Lt Gen Faiz Hamid received the army chief, the ISPR added.
The security briefing comes amid Pakistan's strained ties with India, which have worsened after August 5, 2019, when India revoked occupied Kashmir's special status.
According to the ISPR, Indian troops have committed 1,877 ceasefire violations this year, so far, in which 15 innocent civilians, including six women and five children, have been martyred.
In June, Prime Minister Imran Khan along with his key ministers, had also visited the ISI headquarters where he was briefed on the national security.
"A comprehensive briefing was given to the prime minister encompassing complex regional and domestic challenges with special focus on Pakistan’s efforts for restoration of peace and stability," the statement issued after the meeting had stated.
"The Prime Minister emphasized that no effort would be spared for national security and sovereignty."
PM Imran was accompanied by the army chief, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Planning Minister Asad Umar and Special Assistant to PM on National Security Dr Moeed Yousuf.
The prime minister appreciated sacrifices and tireless efforts of the country’s premier intelligence agency.

COAS, Bill Gates discuss Pakistan's Covid-19 response, polio campaign
Bill Gates appreciates Pakistan's success against coronavirus, reiterates support to help end polio
August 15, 2020
Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa and Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Bill Gates, in a telephonic conversation, discussed Pakistan's Covid-19 response and resumption of the polio campaign.
Bill Gates appreciated the Pakistan Army for supporting the national polio drive and ensuring proper reach and coverage. The army chief attributed the effort for a polio-free Pakistan to the grassroot workers including mobile teams, law enforcement agencies and healthcare representatives.
The two discussed the importance of conducting the polio campaign effectively during the pandemic.
Bill Gates also appreciated Pakistan's success against the novel coronavirus despite resource constraints. The army chief said the success was executed through the mechanism of the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) which allowed optimisation of resources.
The co-chair reiterated his support to Pakistan in its goal of ending polio and improving the health of every child.

I don't think that specific model indicates anything, but as a policy, we've been seeking a medium-to-heavy-lift helicopter since 2005. The US hasn't been forthcoming in letting us buy mothballed CH-47s -- be it from EDA or third-parties like Italy. Otherwise, the likes of the AW101 et. al are too costly to buy in the necessary numbers.
Ultimately, I think we'll end up with one of the Z-18 or Mi-38.
But we could get a little creative. The Avicopter AC313 can potentially meet our heavy-medium needs, but it's a civilian helicopter. However, it uses three PT6B turboshaft engines, a variant of the vast PT6 line we're well experienced with through the AW139, Bell 412EP, King Air 350ER, and other aircraft. We even have an MRO base for this engine, and it's so commonly available around the world, spares hunting isn't an issue.
So, our civilian ministries can induct the AC313 (for SAR, HADR, etc). We can't use it for military purposes unless we explicitly request the OEM to design and certify such a variant.
