Upon his arrival at GHQ, General Raza was presented with a guard of honour.

Appointment as CNSC
Last week, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the promotion of General Aamer Raza to the rank of a four-star general and his appointment as Commander of the National Strategic Command.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the premier congratulated General Raza and wished him success in carrying out his new responsibilities.
About the National Strategic Command
The position of Commander of the National Strategic Command (CNSC) was established under the 27th Constitutional Amendment, which introduced changes to Pakistan’s military command structure.
Under the revised framework, the CNSC is responsible for duties that were previously assigned to the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC), a position that was abolished following the constitutional changes.
The amendment also provides that the appointment, reappointment, or extension of the CNSC is made on the recommendation of the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF).
General Aamer Raza’s Service
General Aamer Raza has received several military honors during his career, including the Hilal-i-Imtiaz (Military) and the Sitara-i-Basalat.
Field Marshal Asim Munir became Pakistan’s first Chief of Defence Forces after the 27th Constitutional Amendment introduced the position as part of a unified command structure for the country’s armed forces.
