APP - National Security Advisor Pakistan Lieutenant General (Retd) Nasser Khan Janjua said Wednesday that Pakistan had great economic and connectivity potential for other countries.

Nasser Khan Janjua said Central Asian States have great religious importance for Muslims who are spiritually connected to them. “All of us have common history along with peaceful and prosperous future,” he said and stressed the need to come together to counter challenges and common threats.

Speaking about challenges to Pakistan, he said “we were engaged in FATA, Balochistan and FATA but entire Pakistani nation and Armed Forces fought with these challenges successfully”.

He said that Pakistan launched the biggest counter terrorism operation in FATA, lot of operations to restore peace in Karachi while people-centric military strategy brought results in Balochistan.

National Security Advisor said that Pakistan is looking towards Russia for greater relationship. He questioned as how Pakistan did wrong if Russia had attacked Afghanistan in late 70s while several other challenges were also faced by the country after 9/11.
