It was a special conference which was attended by corps commanders, principal staff officers and formation commanders. The event assumed special significance because of impending change in the army's command. General Kayani briefed the commanders on external and internal security environment and professional matters as he has prepared to bid farewell to the military after leading the army for six years, sources said.
Later, the CoAS held one-on-one meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif where the two discussed the political and security matters of the country. General Kayani will retire from his post on November 28, however his possible successor has not been finalised yet.
