  "account": "Field Marshal Asim Munir paid a visit to Pakistan’s largest defence industrial facility, the Pakistan Ordnance Factory (POF) in Wah. The primary purpose of his trip was to examine the factory’s production capabilities, potential for exports, and its importance to the country’s defence industrial infrastructure. Throughout his visit, COAS & CDF received detailed updates on various facets of POF’s operations, emphasizing its role in bolstering national defence through the local creation and manufacture of an extensive array of military equipment. The Field Marshal also observed tests and trials of arms and ammunition that were both designed and made domestically, which showcased POF’s dedication to innovation, self-sufficiency, and bolstering Pakistan’s defensive production capacities. He was given a comprehensive overview of the progress made in the corporatization process, which began after the introduction of the Defence Industries Production Rights Act (DIPRA) Ordinance. Additionally, Munir was informed about ongoing efforts to indigenize and upgrade existing operations. Two new industrial plants are currently under construction and are expected to commence production by the end of the current year. This visit reinforced the military’s resolve to enhance self-reliance, promote indigenous production, and foster technological advancement within Pakistan’s defence sector.",
