Lt Gen Asim Malik will assume the charge as the new spy chief on September 30, the Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR) said in a press release issued on Monday.
The newly appointed ISI chief has previously commanded the Infantry Division in Balochistan and the Infantry Brigade in Waziristan. Lt Gen Asim has also received a “sword of honor” in his course.
