    Lieutenant General Asim Malik, who is currently serving as the Adjutant General at General Headquarters (Pakistan Army) (GHQ), has been appointed as Pakistan’s new Director General (DG) of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). He will take charge from September 30, replacing the current DG Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum.

    The ISI chief is appointed by the prime minister but as part of a tradition he executes this power in consultation with the army chief.

    Malik has previously commanded the Infantry Division in Balochistan and the Infantry Brigade in Waziristan. He has also received the Sword of Honor in his course. Apart from this, he has also been posted as Chief Instructor NDU and Instructor Command and Staff College, Quetta.

    Malik is a graduate of Fort Leavenworth and Royal College of Defense Studies.

    The reason behind the change is that no extension has been granted to Anjum.

    He is from Balochistan and his appointment will impact the political situation in Pakistan, especially the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Balochistan. His appointment comes at a critical time for Pakistan’s intelligence agency, which plays a key role in both domestic and international security operations.

    Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum was appointed as the DG ISI in 2021 by former prime minister Imran Khan.
