Pakistan Ambassador to the United States, Masood Khan, urged Washington to supply small arms and modern equipment for the Azm-e-Istahkam operation.
Necessary Modern Weapons And Communication Equipment Pakistan
Ambassador Masood Khan said that Pakistan needs modern weapons and communication equipment to fight terrorism effectively. He stated that Pakistan’s and America’s security pastimes are intently interlinked. Addressing U.S. Policymakers, students, intellectuals, and company leaders in Washington, he underscored that continuous guidance from the U.S. is crucial for Pakistan to dismantle terrorist networks.
Azm-e-Istahkam Operation Pakistan
Azm-e-Istahkam is a significant initiative taken by Pakistan to uproot terrorist networks within its borders. The operation also aims to ensure regional stability and security, which will contribute to global peace and security. So far, the operation has shown promising results, but sustained success needs advanced military support.
Resumption Of Military Sales
Ambassador Khan pointed out that it is high time both countries resumed sales of sophisticated military hardware. He added that this move would strengthen our defense capabilities and enhance the strategic partnership between the two nations.
Stronger Bilateral Relations
The ambassador’s appeal underscores the deep-rooted ties between Islamabad and Washington, D.C. He reminded the audience of the USA’s historical support on various fronts, such as counterterrorism and regional stability. He emphasized that if Americans supported Azm-e-Istahkam, they would reaffirm their commitment to a long-term alliance with Pakistan.
To sum up, what Ambassador Masood Khan has requested here today cannot be more critical than giving him the modern military support necessary for the success of Operation Azm-e-Istahkam. This collaboration between Pakistan and the U.S. ensures regional stability and global security. Through the provision of advanced military equipment, we will continue to play a leading role against terrorism while fostering peace in areas marred by conflict.
