MUST FIX HIS HOUSE FIRST, NOT JOIN ARMS RACE DESPITE AGGRESSIVE NEIGHBOR, FORGET PAKISTAN INDIA PAST, GO AHEAD ARMY CHIEF

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has said that it is necessary to fix one's own house first. Unresolved conflicts are increasing poverty.

Pak-India relations can bring East and West Asia closer, the war on terror is close to victory, ensuring national security is not just the job of the military, C-Pac is an important economic project but it is illogical to see Pakistan only through its eyes US-Taliban agreement guarantees Pakistan's stability

Addressing the Islamabad Security Dialogue, Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa said that the Kashmir issue is a major cause of tension between Pakistan and India and a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue is necessary in order to peace in the region. There would not be any peace in Asia without it.

It is time to bury the past and move towards the future. Our neighbor must resolve the Kashmir issue as strong Pak-India relations can bring East and West Asia closer.

Today, the world is facing various forms of terrorism and in the current situation, Pakistan is facing many challenges to overcome these challenges. There would be an urgent need in order to adopt comprehensive strategies. Pakistan is spending a lesser amount on account of defense worthless to say even security threats in the region

Increasing spending on security has to sacrifice human development. Despite being an aggressive neighbor, Pakistan has not joined the arms race in the region and Pakistan has not joined the arms race despite provocations. Pakistan Army has played an important role in the war on terror. Is the fight against terrorism a reflection of our commitment?

Peace in Afghanistan is a guarantee of peace in the region and Pakistan is playing an important role in establishing peace in Afghanistan. Markets were set up on the Pak-Afghan border while the agreement between the US and the Taliban was reached through Pakistan's efforts.

Ensuring national security is not just the job of the armed forces, national security is multifaceted, the nation has a key role to play in it, they are close to the goal after a long struggle to eradicate terrorism, less to defeat terrorism and extremism. Developed areas are being developed.

" We tend to believe that it's time to bury the past and move forward. The responsibility for resolving the issues through meaningful dialogue now rests with India, our neighbor," he said. The country needs to create a conducive environment, especially in occupied Kashmir.

Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa said that due to unresolved issues in South Asia, the entire region is developing and suffering from poverty. It is sad to know that South Asia in terms of trade, infrastructure, water, and energy cooperation Is one of the least connected regions in the world.

He said that it is a universally recognized fact that the contemporary concept of national security aims not only to protect a country from internal and external threats but also to provide a conducive environment in which human security, national progress, and prosperity can be achieved. To be realized.

I believe that no nation today can solve security issues alone because the security issues or confusions facing the world today are closely linked to global and regional dynamics whether it is human security, extremism, human rights. Whether it's environmental damage, economic security or an epidemic, tackling these issues alone is no longer the answer.

"Even today, we have equal opportunities to choose. Now it is up to us to move on to war, disease, and destruction by promoting past conflicts and toxic conflicts, or moving forward to provide our people with technical and By benefiting from the fruits of scientific progress, a new era of prosperity and progress begins.

He said that less developed areas were being developed to control terrorism and Pakistan was a responsible country in the region.
