In September, the Pakistan Army had approved the promotion of Munir and five other major generals to the rank of Lieutenant Generals.
Munir was earlier the Director General of Military Intelligence. He was also the 2018 recipient of the Hilal-i-Imtiaz, which is Pakistan's second-highest civilian award that is given to both civilians and military officers for "highest degree of service to the State and for services to international diplomacy". The new ISI chief has also served as the commander of the Force Command Northern Areas.
