RAWALPINDI: Paying homage to martyrs, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday said that Pakistan’s armed forces and intelligence agencies are best in the world due to their strict adherence to merit and professionalism.

Addressing a ceremony at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi on Defence and Martyrs’ Day, the PM said that the country’s armed forces and intelligence agencies are a source of pride for the nation and all the other institutions could progress if they follow the army’s example.

Remembering the 1965 war with India, Imran Khan said that he was 12 but he and his friends were quite enthusiastic about the defence of the country when they heard about the war.

“We all wanted to become soldiers, if I were not a cricketer, I would have been a retired soldier,” said Imran Khan.

The PM said that he was and is against fighting proxy wars and made it clear that Pakistan will not fight anyone else’s war, nor will become part of it.

The PM also said that his government wants a foreign policy which will be in the best interest of Pakistan.

Rejecting the impressions of civil military divide, the PM said both are on same page regarding the issues faced by the country.
