The 207th Corps Commanders' Conference held at the Army General Headquarters on Tuesday reviewed the evolving geo-strategic environment and internal security situation. Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed presided over the Corps Commanders' Conference. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that the Corps Commanders' Conference also discussed input for the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting being held the same day.

Later on the day, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi also chaired the NSC meeting that was held in the wake of US President Donald Trump's tweet regarding Pakistan.

Pakistan also summoned the US ambassador, an embassy spokesman said Tuesday, after Donald Trump lashed out at Islamabad with threats to cut aid over "lies" about militancy. The political leadership of the country has reacted sharply after the US president's tweet and leaders have been vocal in their displeasure to what is seen as an anti-Pakistan statement.
