Meanwhile, at the last corps commanders' conference on September 7, the forum discussed internal and external security situation of the country and progress of operation Radd-ul-Fasaad.

That was the first meeting of the army's top commanders after US President Donald Trump announced his new South Asia policy on August 22. 

Since then, Pakistan has taken a strong stance against the 'anti-Pakistan' policy, with the military leadership holding several meetings with the civilian government.
