Nasir Khan Janjua HI(M) (Urdu: ناصر خان جنجوعہ) is a former three-star general of the Pakistan Army, who prior to retiring served as Corps Commander Quetta. He served as the 7th National Security Advisor of Pakistan from 23 October 2015 until his resignation on 27 June 2018.
Janjua's notable achievements include streamlining the National Security and War Course into a single cohesive program, eliminating the unnecessary overlap. Additionally, he spearheaded the development of Azm-e-Nau, a meticulously designed military preparedness exercise with a specific emphasis on India, while serving as President of the National Defence University in Islamabad.
Prior to becoming the 7th National Security Advisor, Janjua's name was mentioned as a possible replacement for Sartaj Aziz in Pakistani news media after his meeting with Nawaz Sharif. Janjua was appointed as NSA after the NSA staff moved to the Prime Minister's Secretariat on 23 October 2015.
