ISI Chief Mohammad Asim Malik's New Role Amid India-Pakistan Tensions

Malik has been given the NSA position as an additional charge, a position, which, according to some reports, had been vacant since April 2022.

An official order of Malik’s new appointment was widely being shared on social media.

Asim Malik was appointed the ISI Director General in September 2024, after he succeeded Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum.

Before his appointment as the ISI DG, Malik served as an Adjutant General at the general headquarters in Rawalpindi. In the past, Malik has also led the Infantry Brigade in Waziristan and the Infantry Division in Balochistan.
