Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Saturday visited Pakistan's largest defence industrial complex, Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) at Wah. The visit focused on reviewing POF's production capabilities, export potential and contributions towards the country's defence industrial base.

During the visit, the army chief was briefed on various aspects of POF's operations and its role in strengthening national defence through indigenous development and production of a diverse range of military equipment. He also witnessed the tests and trials of locally designed and manufactured arms and ammunition, highlighting POF's commitment to innovation, self-reliance and enhancing Pakistan's defence production capabilities.

The field marshal was presented with an overview on progress of the corporatisation process following the enactment of DIPRA Ordinance. He was also apprised about the ongoing indigenisation and upgradation efforts through the installation of two new industrial plants, which are likely to commence production by the end of current year.

The visit underscored the military's commitment to advancing self-reliance, indigenous production and technological innovation in Pakistan's defence sector, ensuring that national security needs are met through robust domestic industrial support.
