Islamabad: On the anniversary of the Army Public School Peshawar terrorist attack, Pakistan has reaffirmed its resolve to protect its people, defend its sovereignty, and pursue its vision of lasting peace. The attack, which resulted in the tragic loss of many lives, remains a poignant reminder of the ongoing fight against terrorism in the country.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Foreign Office released a statement remembering the innocent children and teachers who lost their lives in the attack. Their sacrifice is seen as a symbol of the nation’s determination to combat terrorism in all its forms. The anniversary highlights the urgent need to eradicate terrorism, with Pakistan having suffered significant losses in terms of lives and economic costs. The nation has lost over 90,000 lives in this battle, underscoring its frontline role in counterterrorism efforts.

Pakistan’s security forces and law enforcement agencies continue to take decisive actions against terrorist groups. Despite these efforts, the country faces ongoing threats from terrorist elements operating across its borders. Pakistan has consistently raised awareness about these challenges and has implemented measures to prevent cross-border terrorism.

By acting as a bulwark against the spread of terrorism, Pakistan contributes to regional and international security and stability. This situation highlights the need for concrete actions to dismantle terrorist sanctuaries and cut off support to terrorist groups, particularly those targeting Pakistan.
