Lieutenant General Muhammad Asim Malik has been appointed as the Inter Services Intelligence director general and will take charge on September 30.
The announcement was made by the Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR) in a press release issued on Monday.
Gen Malik is currently serving as an adjutant general at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, the ISPR said.
He will be replacing Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum, who was appointed in 2021 by then-prime minister Imran Khan.
Gen Anjum, who was commissioned in service in September 1988, earlier 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.
Prior to his appointment as the new spy chief, Gen Malik has served in the Balochistan infantry division and has commanded the infantry brigade in Waziristan.
