ISLAMABAD - Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Sunday said that India’s conspiracies against Pakistan will be exposed at diplomatic level.
Sartaj Aziz said India's objections to the 3,000 km-long CPEC notwithstanding, Islamabad was firmly committed to the $46 billion project and would not permit any attempt to sabotage it.
Sartaj Aziz said that Pakistan's "enemies" would not succeed in sabotaging the economic corridor.
Addressing a gathering at the Nazaria Pakistan Council, Aziz termed the Indian stance a conspiracy to sabotage the project, saying: "Pakistan's adversaries have started their conspiracies to sabotage the Pakistan-China Economic Corridor, but (let me) make it clear that the enemies' nefarious designs will never succeed."
The future of Pakistan - and the entire region - was dependent on the completion of the CPEC, Aziz contended.
Aziz said India’s malicious aims were destroyed when Pakistan became a nuclear power.
He also said India's desire for regional hegemony would not be allowed, and stated that economic prosperity and self-reliance are imperative to a strong defence.
Talking about the war on terrorism, Sartaj Aziz said Pakistan has to fight a war against evil ideologies, including extremism and terrorism, which are harming the country.
Talking about curbing terrorism, he said real Islamic teachings and identity is the only way to getting rid of terrorism.
Aziz said the young generation should be familiarised with Islamic spirit and the ideology of Pakistan.
He said the importance of Pakistan can be realised by seeing worsening conditions for Muslims living across the border.
The adviser said that national solidarity and economic prosperity are the only keys to Pakistan’s true progress and survival
Aziz said the good news of Pak-China economic corridor is a source of mourning for India.
