Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif says Pakistan is a peace loving country and wants peaceful co-existence with all countries, especially its neighbors.

Addressing the Passing Out Parade at PAF Academy Asghar Khan in Risalpur as a chief guest on Friday, he said our desire for peace should not be construed as weakness.

He said our Armed Forces are fully capable of foiling nefarious designs of anti-state elements despite facing the challenges of terrorism, extremism and militancy.

The Prime Minister has said the whole nation stands behind its armed forces to defeat the evil designs of anti-Pakistan forces.

He congratulated the graduating cadets, their parents and the faculty on the most memorable moments of their lives.

Shehbaz Sharif said over the last two decades police and intelligence community have risen to the challenges and neutralized the threats to our national security which is unprecedented.

He lauded the PAF leadership to make the Pakistan Air Force a truly professional, progressive and high-tech organization.

He recalled the recent example of the PAF’s true professionalism when it showed a befitting and determined response to the Indian aggression in February 2019.  

Shehbaz Sharif however, said peace in South Asia cannot be established without a just and fair settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in line with the UN resolutions and the aspiration of the people of Kashmir.

He condemned the grave human rights violation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and urged the world to take notice of demographic the illegal changes by India. 

Earlier, Prime Minister reviewed the parade and presented awards to cadets. PAF’s Sherdil Squadron also displayed a splendid air display on the occasion.
