We as a nation stand as proud Pakistani’s but this is just the stop.
KARACHI: Pakistan has proved to be a peace-loving country.
The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, in his recent visit, stated that the improved security situation of Pakistan is “absolutely remarkable.” Furthermore, he said that Islamabad, which looks liked a “fortress” a few years back, had now become a family station for the world body’s staff. In addition, Guterres also appreciated the contribution of Pakistani troops to UN peacekeeping missions.
Such praise-worthy words and notions about Pakistan have wiped out all the conspiracies and intentional stigmas on Pakistan. This is certainly a huge victory for Pakistani nation and Pak Army who have been working hard to portray a positive image of Pakistan internationally. We as a nation stand as proud Pakistani’s but this is just the stop. We need to continue positive efforts and soon become a globally recognised as an economic powerhouse.
