RAWALPINDI: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Friday said Pakistan believes in peaceful neighbourhood, but no one should consider this desire as weakness.
He made the remarks while addressing a ceremony held at GHQ in Rawalpindi to mark the Defence and Martyrs Day.
The Prime Minister said Pakistan has always been making efforts for peace at the global level. He, however, said that Pakistan will never make any compromise on its freedom and integrity.
Shehbaz Sharif added this day reminds us the unmatched sacrifices of our brave soldiers who fought for the motherland gallantly. He paid rich tribute to those who lost their loved ones in war against terrorism.
He said that the armed forces of Pakistan would continue their operations against terrorists in the country.
Talking about the gross human rights violations being committed by occupation forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), Shehbaz Sharif once again asked the world leaders to come forward and play their due role for peace in the region.
About continued Israeli barbarism and aggression in Gaza, the Prime Minister urged the global community to raise its voice as it is directly affecting humanity in Palestine.
