“Though, we are getting positive results in the fight against terrorism,” remarked the PM.
He underlined that Pakistan was facing several challenges in the face of fighting terrorism.
Mr. Sharif said forces had eliminated hideouts of terrorists from the country. It’s the ongoing anti-terror operation that is forcing militants to flee the country, he added.
Regarding relations with India, the PM said: “Once we normalize relations with India and resume the composite dialogue, there is immense potential for trade with it.”
