 Qamar Javed Bajwa’s tenure as army chief extended for three years

ISLAMABAD: Through a notification on Monday, Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa’s service period has been extended as the army chief for three years viewing the tense situation on the eastern border with India.

The extension in tenure has been made on order of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

“Gen Qamar Javed Bajwah is appointed Chief or Army Staff for another three years from the date of completion of his current tenure. The decision has been taken in view of the regional security environment,” read the notification issued by the Prime Minister’s Office in this regard.

The decision has been taken about three months ahead of expiring of his tenure. The 58-year-old was appointed as the 10th army chief of Pakistan in November 2016 by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government.

He was born in November 1960 in Karachi. Before joining Pakistan Army, he was educated at the Sir Syed College and Gordon College in Rawalpindi.
