PakistanFully prepared to deal with national security challenges: President Mamnoon

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: President Mamnoon Hussain on Friday said the country’s leadership was fully prepared to deal with the challenges of national security and was determined to eliminate terrorism and militancy.

Addressing the graduates of National Security Course here at the National Defence University (NDU), the President said efforts were afoot to ensure peace in the country and in the region.

President Mamnoon Hussain said terrorism had become a global issue that required a joint approach by all states to fight this menace.

He said the international community was supporting Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts, which he said would intensify the impact of the steps taken against militancy.

The President said Pakistan wanted restoration of peace in Afghanistan and was extending cooperation to its neighbour for enduring peace in the region.

He said Pakistan was in favour of peaceful relations with India and wanted to resolve all outstanding issues including the Kashmir dispute through dialogue.

The President said strategic and political changes at global level had given rise to new challenges that needed a new approach to deal these effectively.

He mentioned that the nation and the country’s armed forces had rendered immense sacrifices in fight against terrorism and added that Operation Zarb-e-Azb was nearing its successful completion against militants.

He said the incident of Army Public School in Peshawar that took lives of innocent schoolchildren had united the entire nation against terrorism.

He congratulated the graduates of the National Security Course and expressed confidence that the training they had received at the prestigious institute would prove helpful in their professional life and in formulation of policies related to national security.

President NDU Lt. Gen. Anwar Ali Haider highlighted the salient features of National Security Course and said NDU was focusing on preparing the central leadership for policy-making as the concept of national security continued to change its dimensions.

He said the Course was based on soundly-structured and institutionalized approach to delve upon the issues of national importance.
