PM Shehbaz highlights Pakistan’s role as net regional stabilizer, reaffirms unwavering support for Kashmiris
Quetta : Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has underscored Pakistan’s growing role as a net regional stabiliser contributing to peace and stability in the region and beyond.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the prime minister made the remarks during his address to faculty members and student officers at the Command and Staff College in Quetta.
He highlighted the importance of military diplomacy and cooperation, saying Pakistan has made significant strides as a net regional stabiliser to contribute towards peace, stability and progression in the region and beyond.
PM Shehbaz, referring to Marka-i-Haq, also paid tribute to the Pakistan Armed Forces’ historic victory under the leadership of Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.
“The enemy falsely perceived itself as stronger than Pakistan. They rejected our sincere offer of dialogue to resolve differences and remove misunderstandings; instead, they chose the path of provocation, violence, and aggression. India did not recognise that Pakistan’s peace offer was never its weakness; it was, in fact, our strength,” said the prime minister.
He highlighted Pakistan’s responsible conduct and escalation control against India’s unprovoked hubristic aggression, stating that Pakistan’s mature, prudent and just stance was also acknowledged by the international community.
“On the diplomatic front, Pakistan’s narrative was fully vindicated and that of our enemy was debunked and dismissed completely,” he said said.
PM Shehbaz also reaffirmed Pakistan’s resolve to defend sovereignty and territorial integrity against any misadventure at all costs.
The premier stated that Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq was continuing with full resolve to defend the lives and property of innocent citizens against Afghan-based terrorist proxies, and to inflict punishment on terrorist hideouts and support infrastructure. “The Afghan government must take meaningful and credible actions against Islamic State Khorasan Province, Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, and Balochistan Liberation Army, who use Afghan soil to attack Pakistan,” he said.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering support for the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine, the premier said that Islamabad has “consistently advocated the right of the Palestinian people, who have been facing illegal Israeli occupation as well as its brutal oppression”.
“A just and legitimate resolution of the Palestinian issue is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in accordance with the UN Charter,” he maintained.
