Dr Alvi said that Pakistan desires peace and its weapons are not for aggression but only for defense purpose, adding that our nuclear deterrence is also to ensure that nobody looks at us with an evil eye.
Hailing the sacrifices of armed forces and the people in the war on terrorism, the President said that the armed forces have secured the country from terrorism.
“Our armed forces are the only organization which has the most experience in dealing with the menace,” he said.
The President said that Pakistan is building state of the art defense equipment including JF-17 thunder fighter jets, Mushshak and tanks and stressed for further research in the cyber world and artificial intelligence to give a quantum jump to the defense industry.
He said Pakistan offers business friendly environment for investment and the private sector should come forward for investment in production of defense related equipment.
Arif Alvi said a strong and stable economy is also vital for defense of the country.
