Author: agencies/online

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s nuclear programme is a guarantee to peace in South, Prime Minister Nawaz said in his message on the occasion of Youm-e-Takbeer, the day Pakistan became a nuclear power.

“Pakistan’s atomic programme was developed to make country’s defence impregnable. It is a guarantee to peace in South Asia. This programme created a balance of power, which was necessary to make this region safe,” he said.

Congratulating the nation, the prime minister said Youm-e-Takbeer would always be remembered as an important milestone in the history of Pakistan, the first Muslim nuclear state.

“Our nuclear programme depicts the ability of the Pakistani nation that they have the ability to face all challenges.” He said Zarb-e-Azb military operation was the continuation of this pledge to make Pakistan’s defence impregnable.

The prime minister said that several projects had been launched under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which will change the destiny of the country.
