Pakistan's National Assembly passed two bills to streamline military and nuclear command structures. These bills follow last year's constitutional amendment which introduced a Chief of Defence Forces. The new legislation aims to integrate strategic forces and establish a Defence Forces Headquarters. The Chief of Defence Forces will advise the prime minister on national security matters. These bills now require Senate approval before becoming law.
