Pakistan's new army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa said the current tensions on the border with India will ease soon.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of 'Change in Command' ceremony at the General Headquarters of the army, Gen Bajwa said the situation at the "Line of Control will improve soon".

The army chief added that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. The comments came after the outgoing army chief, Gen Raheel Sharif, warned India that "mistaking our policy of patience for weakness" would prove "dangerous".
