PM says Pak-US bilateral relations satisfactorily advancing
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif late on Sunday said that Pak-US bilateral relations are satisfactorily advancing on an upward trajectory and Pakistan wishes to expand the scope of Strategic Dialogue Framework between the two countries.
In a statement prior to embarking on the US visit, PM Nawaz said that being a sovereign country and having a strong democratic dispensation, Pakistan has rendered unmatched sacrifice in the war on terror as a frontline state.
The PM further said that Operation Zarb-e-Azb’s success is a manifestation of Pakistan's unwavering commitment to root out terrorism and extremism from each and every nook and corner of the country.
He added, “We are fighting this war to not only ensure peace and prosperity of our country but also to make South Asia and the region beyond, a hub of peace and development.”
The prime minister also said that Pakistan is a responsible sovereign nuclear state and its strategic assets are secured under a foolproof arrangement, adding that Pakistan's nuclear status is a deterrence against any external aggression.
