ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Monday that Pakistan was committed to ensuring peace with all countries, but that it was also concerned about securing its borders.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said this in a tweet as the country celebrated ‘Surprise Day’ while the country strives for peace and added it is also aware of its obligation to defend the country.
Today the nation pays rich tribute to PAF for a befitting response to the Indian violation of Pakistan's air space on the pretext of false flag Pulwama attack. While we aim for peace with all, we are mindful of our duty to defend the country. Let no one make any mistake about it.
