ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s military spokesperson Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has affirmed that both Pakistan and China remain steadfast in their commitment to promoting regional peace and stability.
In an interview with China Media Group, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) said both countries are united in the fight against terrorism.
“Prosperity always comes through peace and stability,” he said.
He stated, “After Allah, we rely most on ourselves. When our determination is firm, as we have already demonstrated, the international community also plays its role.”
Highlighting the global context, DG ISPR Lt. General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry added that nations worldwide are grappling with significant challenges such as climate change and rapid population growth.
He remarked, “Major countries have big visions; the world is focusing on the progress of humanity.”
“In such times, should one country attack another based on baseless accusations and false narratives? Should a nation try to impose its dominance on neighbouring states?” he said while criticising hegemonic behaviour.
“Terrorism’s aim is to halt progress. The world must recognise the development China has achieved in a short time, despite its large population. The people of Pakistan, too, aspire to move toward growth and stability,” the DG ISPR said.
He reaffirmed Pakistan’s resolve: “The Pakistani nation has never bowed down in the past, nor will it ever. Martyrdom is an honour for us—greater than life itself—whether one wears blue, white, or khaki.”
