ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday said the government was making efforts to transform Pakistan from a Security State into an Open Country.
While addressing a workshop on Media Technology in Islamabad, Fawad Chaudhry said in modern era, propaganda has become the primary tool of warfare while kinetic warfare has assumed secondary importance.
The minister said strong ideas and excellent ways of their presentation were prerequisite to success of hybrid warfare. He said in modern times wars were fought in media rather than the battlefront.
پاکستان دہشت گردی کے خلاف ایک موثر بیانیہ رکھتا ہے۔۔۔حکومت کی مؤثر پالیسیوں سے بھارت کو پلوامہ واقعہ پر عالمی تنہائی کا سامنا کرنا پڑا۔ہم نے ثابت کیا کہ پلوامہ واقعہ کو مودی نے انتخابی کامیابی کیلئے استعمال کیا۔وزیر اطلاعات چوہدری فواد حسین کا میڈیا ورکشاپ سے خطاب@fawadchaudhry pic.twitter.com/yRwtypI45l

The information minister further said due to its strong narrative, Pakistan succeeded to convince the world that the Indian government had used the Pulwama incident for winning election. He said it was due to the successful media policy of the Pakistani government that India had got isolated on the issue of Pulwama.
Fawad Chaudhry also said reforms were underway in the information ministry to make it a tool for promotion of the State rather than a political party. He said the government is also making efforts to bring international media back to Pakistan.
