Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has stated that Türkiye, China, and Azerbaijan have made clear declarations of support for Pakistan. He said these countries have stood by Pakistan in difficult times, and for that, Pakistan is grateful to them.
While addressing the National Assembly, the Defence Minister said that India violated international laws by targeting civilians. “We will not target Indian civilians, only their military forces,” he asserted. “In a few days, it will become evident how our armed forces can defend the country.”
Khawaja Asif added that the drone attacks were carried out to trace Pakistani positions and were deliberately not intercepted.
He further stated that there is not a single country in the world with whom Pakistan is not in contact. “The world is standing neutral in the Pakistan-India tension,” he noted. “Our armed forces are bravely confronting the situation along the Line of Control (LoC) and the Working Boundary.”
