Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will hold a crucial meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) at his official residence in Islamabad today. According to reports, the meeting will be attended by senior leaders and military leadership, including Field Marshal General Asif Munir.
This will be the first session of the country’s highest national security body after the recent India-Pakistan conflict in the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir‘s Pahalgam in April.
The high-level huddle will be attended by Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, and Information Minister Attaullah Tarar. Key members of the federal cabinet and special advisers to the Prime Minister on foreign affairs will also be in attendance.
From the military and intelligence leadership, Munir will be joined by the Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Director General of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and National Security Adviser (NSA), Director General of Intelligence Bureau (IB), Director General of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), and the Cabinet Secretary.
The primary agenda for the meeting includes a comprehensive briefing by Asif Munir on his recent visit to Washington DC and his meeting with US President Donald Trump, internal security restructuring, and a proposed realignment of the national security grid in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The committee is also expected to assess the evolving situation due to the Israel-Iran conflict and deliberate on Islamabad’s security posture and deployment along the Iran-Pakistan border.
On Sunday, Pakistan condemned the United States’ military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them a violation of international law and warning of the risk of dangerous escalation in the region.
“Pakistan condemns the US attacks on the nuclear facilities of Iran, which follow the series of attacks by Israel. We are gravely concerned at the possible further escalation of tensions in the region,” Pakistan’s Foreign Office said.
Notably, the condemnation came just a day after Islamabad backed Donald Trump as a candidate for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic intervention” during last month’s India-Pakistan standoff.
