Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif said that his government would keep the interests of the country supreme while appointing the new Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC). The spokesperson to the PM quoted the Prime Minister as saying that his government was fully cognizant about its constitutional obligations in this regard. He said while expectations regarding announcement of the successor to the outgoing CJCSC before 8th October were reasonable, the issue needed a comprehensive consideration due to the fact that the office of the COAS was also falling vacant on November 29. The spokesperson said the Prime Minister had decided to announce the names for both the appointments at the same time.
