94th Officers Commissioning Parade held at the Pakistan Naval (PN) Academy on Monday. Air Chief Marshall Rao Qamar Suleman said that our desire for peace must not be construed as a sign of weakness. In fact it is reflective of our confidence to effectively safeguard our national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Appreciating a good proportion of female cadets on the parade ground, Rao said that it is heartening to see female cadets getting training at the Naval Academy. This reflects Quaid's vision to provide women with equal instrumental role to play in defence and development of our country. On his arrival the air chief was received by Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Noman Bashir. Thereafter, he inspected the platoons of the newly commissioned officers and reviewed the parade. Later, he awarded prizes to the winner. Midshipmen Mohammad Bilil Asif was given the Sword of Honour for his best performance. Academy's Dirk went to Midshipmen Owais Ahmed Khan while Lieutenant Shahab Hussain and Cadet Zeeshan Javed clinched Quaid-e-Azam and Chairman Joint Chief of Staff Gold Medal, respectively. Main Top Squadron was the recipient of Proficiency Banner. The ceremony was attended by a large number of senior officers from all three services, foreign diplomats and parents of the cadets.
