PM vows to defeat terror, turn Pakistan into cradle of peace




ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday vowed to defeat terrorist forces and turn Pakistan into a cradle of peace with the support and unity of the people and cooperation from the army and other vital security institutions.

“The whole nation is united. We are in high spirits and would give an absolute defeat to the terrorists with the full cooperation of army and other national security institutions,” the prime minister said while addressing the flag hoisting ceremony here at the Convention Center to mark the country's 67th Independence Day.




UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also attended the ceremony on the special invitation of the prime minister.

Chairman Senate, Speaker National Assembly, Federal Ministers, members of the Parliament, diplomats and senior civil and military officers were among those who attended the special ceremony.

The prime minister said the government was fully cognizant of the people’s concerns on the menace of terrorism and extremism, adding that the people also know that such challenges come in the history of nations and they fight these with unity and courage.

Prime Minister Sharif said Pakistan was a nuclear-weapon state and an important regional power, and any decision about the region cannot be taken without the country’s involvement.

Later, during a joint news conference with Ban Ki-moon, Prime Minister Sharif pledged to respond to rising tensions in disputed Kashmir with “restraint and responsibility”.

The prime minister said it was vital to defuse the recent escalation of tension in the Himalayan territory.

Skirmishes have flared across the heavily-militarised Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border in Kashmir, since five Indian soldiers were killed last week in an ambush which India blamed on Pakistani soldiers.
