Lt Gen Asim Malik to continue serving as ISI chief

Inter-Services Intelligence Director General Lt Gen General Asim Malik will reportedly continue to serve on his incumbent post.

Sources said that 55-year-old Lt Gen Malik, who is also the country’s national security adviser, was appointed to the post of the ISI chief in September 2024, replacing Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum.

Lt Gen Malik is considered one of the best officers of the Pakistan Army.

The ISI chief was given the additional charge of the NSA back in May. A notification issued by the Cabinet Division stated that Lt Gen Asim Malik would hold the additional charge of the national security adviser with immediate effect. The posting came amid heightened tensions with India following the Pahalgam attack.
