Islamabad: Pakistan’s Minister for Information and Broadcasting Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Thursday Pakistan had to win war against terrorism to achieve national and regional security.
Addressing the South Asian media summit on ‘Newspapers in the New Media Ecosystem’, he said, “If we lose this war, it would be a defeat for the whole region because no country can survive in isolation and dependency was more relevant in current scenario.”
The summit was organised by the All Pakistan Newspapers Society.
He said that the incumbent government had restored its writ in many areas which used to be the safe havens for terrorists.
He said after 9/11, Pakistan was compelled to support the war on terrorism, realising that the extremism was not something confined to a certain country.
Kaira said that the media had a very pivotal to play in a society as it can prove very effective to soften and develop public.
The minister said peace in Pakistan was vital for India and vice-versa, which can be possible through positive public opinion and exchange of media delegations between the two countries.
