00:00 Pakistan's borders are a red line against terrorism. We want to live in a peaceful environment with our neighbouring countries. We want to increase trade with our neighbouring countries.
00:12 The Prime Minister also said that we cannot tolerate terrorism from the borders. If the land of our neighbouring countries is used for terrorism, it is unacceptable.
00:21 National security expert, Syed Muhammad Ali is with us.
00:25 Syed Muhammad Ali, what is the importance of this statement of the Prime Minister?
00:28 I think this is a very important and timely statement.
00:33 The reason for this is that the recent terrorist attacks in Pakistan against the Pak Army,
00:43 I think this is a very clear message from the political leadership of Pakistan not only to terrorists but to Afghanistan as well.
00:55 Pakistan will not compromise on its security.
01:00 Whether our enemies are internal or external, Pakistan will not let any harm come to its defence, security and self-determination.
01:10 I think this is a very important statement.
01:13 It also translates to the fact that the leadership of our army and our political leadership are on the same page.
01:26 They have the same thoughts about the national security of Pakistan.
01:30 We know the people who are trying to create misunderstandings between the government and the Pak Army.
01:43 We will help them to make them fail.
01:47 Syed Muhammad Ali, the Prime Minister has also said that he will ask his neighbouring countries to come and work together to end terrorism.
01:56 Yes, I think this is a very important statement.
02:00 The reason for this is that in the last three and a half years, the Afghan government has shown a very irresponsible style of government.
02:15 They want to get out of the paradigm of a non-state actor and protect their borders as a responsible state.
02:28 They want to end terrorism and cooperate with Pakistan with a good attitude so that they can also control their problems.
02:39 They want to take advantage of the connectivity and investment plans in this area and gradually move towards recognition in the international community.
02:49 Thank you very much, Syed Muhammad Ali, for being with us.
