Given the deteriorating security situation in certain areas, it is easy to overlook the hard work and dedication of the Pakistani security forces. They are working night and day to counter the threat of terrorism. They continue to lay their lives down for the sake of restoring peace in the region. We commend their efforts and applaud their sacrifices. No two other nations could understand each other’s sacrifices more. We’ve lost thousands of brave soldiers on both sides of the border in fighting terrorism. Our common sacrifices prove our stance against terrorism. We stand by the government of Pakistan and look forward to continuing our partnership.
