About the ongoing military offensive in FATA, Operation Zarb-e-Azb, Nawaz said Pakistan had delivered unmatched sacrifices in the war on terror whose success is the reflection of country’s unyielding commitment against terrorism and extremism.

Pakistan is a responsible sovereign nuclear state whose strategic assets are secured, that is a deterrence against any kind of external aggression, added the prime minister.

Raj NYC | 9 years ago | Reply Funny, coming two days after having the killing of some rare birds drive your foreign relations! If the Prime Minister of a country, any country, has to utter such words before visiting a foreign nation, be prepared to be sold, and sold in a hurry, through some secret side agreement, during the upcoming trip. Although you might not learn about it for weeks, months or years. And not even to the highest bidder. The long-term, enduring nation interests of 180+ million will be blindly sold down the river. I say this as a neighbor who wished Pakistan, and its people, well.
