Islamabad, August 23 (TNS): Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir said Pakistan has taken note of President Trump’s speech.

The Senate on Wednesday began debate on US President Donald Trump’s recent speech about Wasington’s new policy towards South Asia and Afghanistan.

Initiating the discussion, Minister for Defence Khurram Dastgir said Pakistan is committed to working with international community and regional partners to defeat terrorism and promote peace and stability in South Asia.

He said it is disappointing that the United States statement overlooks the tremendous counter terrorism achievements of Pakistan as well as the immense scarifies rendered by the whole nation during this struggle.

The Defence Minister said the government welcomes discussion on this vital national security issue in the House of Federation.

He said Federal Cabinet has mandated the Prime Minister to take up the issue at a National Security Committee meeting to be held tomorrow to formulate a comprehensive policy response. He said the collective wisdom of the House will also be represented in the National Security Committee meeting.

Taking part in the discussion, the members strongly condemned the US statement and said that the whole nation is united to safeguard the motherland.
