According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Munir made the remarks while meeting the province's political leadership.

He highlighted that the province is home to talented, resilient, patriotic, and proud people. Munir stressed that clear national narrative and enduring peace and stability are fundamental to unlocking Balochistan's economic potential and translating its abundant human and natural resources into prosperity.\n\nThe ISPR reported that Munir identified Fitna al Khawarij and Fitna al Hindustan as foreign-sponsored proxies being employed by hostile elements to destabilize Balochistan.
