Pakistan’s Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, has visited Pakistan Ordnance Factories in Wah to review the country’s defence production capabilities and ongoing efforts to expand local manufacturing.
During the visit, Munir witnessed trials of domestically produced arms and ammunition and inspected newly developed weapons systems and defence equipment.
Officials highlighted the importance of strengthening Pakistan’s indigenous defence industry and reducing reliance on foreign arms imports.
The visit reflects a broader push to expand domestic manufacturing capacity and develop advanced military equipment within the country.
Munir was briefed on production facilities and ongoing efforts to improve the quality, technology and self-sufficiency of Pakistan’s defence sector.
The emphasis on local production comes as Pakistan seeks to strengthen its military readiness amid a complex regional security environment.
At the same time, Islamabad is playing a more active diplomatic role in efforts to ease tensions between the United States and Iran.
Officials say maintaining strong defence capabilities remains essential while Pakistan pursues its wider regional and international responsibilities.
The visit to Wah underscores the government’s focus on building a more self-reliant defence industry capable of supporting Pakistan’s security needs and reducing dependence on external suppliers.
