ISLAMABAD: Lieutenant General Muhammad Asim Malik, currently serving as Adjutant General at GHQ, has been appointed as the new Director General (DG) of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

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.

Pakistan’s new spymaster will be replacing Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum, who was appointed in 2021 by then-prime minister Imran Khan.

Let Gen Anjum was commissioned in service in September 1988 and headed Corps V in Karachi. He commanded a brigade in Kurram Agency, led Frontier Corps (North) in Balochistan and remained commandant of Command and Staff College Quetta before becoming Karachi corps commander in December 2020.
