Islamabad: Pakistan The army’s media wing said on Tuesday that army commanders showed “absolute confidence” in the country’s “robust nuclear command and control structure” and the security of its strategic nuclear weapons.
This statement of top army officers came a few days after the US President Joe Biden Without any solidarity, Pakistan created a ruckus by calling Pakistan the most dangerous country in the world to possess nuclear weapons.
In a statement issued after the Corps Commanders’ Conference chaired by Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed BajwaIn Rawalpindi, the Army’s media arm, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said participants conducted a comprehensive review of the current internal and external security situation and operational preparedness of the Army.
“The Forum expressed full confidence in Pakistan’s strong nuclear command and control structure and the security arrangements relating to the country’s strategic assets,” the statement said.
As a responsible nuclear weapons state, the ISPR said, Pakistan has taken all necessary measures to strengthen its nuclear security regime, which is at par with international best practices.
Earlier, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shahbaz SharifDismissed Biden’s statement as baseless and the country’s acting Foreign Secretary Johar Salim summoned the US ambassador, Donald BlomTo clarify the remarks of the US President on Saturday.
Washington’s relations with Islamabad have soured since last year, when the US ended a two-decade war in Afghanistan.
Pakistan provided the US with vital logistical access, but officials in Washington believe Pakistan’s military and intelligence was aided by the Taliban, which regained control of the country after foreign troops withdrew.
