The Pakistan Armed Forces, the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) and the services chiefs have extended heartfelt congratulations to the nation on the occasion of Youm-e-Takbeer.
According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Youm-e-Takbeer, observed annually on May 28 to commemorate Pakistan’s emergence as a nuclear power in 1998, symbolises the restoration of strategic balance in South Asia and the attainment of credible national defence autonomy.
The statement highlighted that this historic achievement reflects the unwavering resolve of the nation, its unity, and its commitment to a dignified and peaceful existence. Pakistan’s strategic capability is a national trust that embodies the collective aspirations of its people.
Youm-e-Takbeer, the statement adds, pays tribute to the visionary leadership, scientists, and engineers whose efforts made this milestone possible. The day underscores Pakistan’s steadfast commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity, while reaffirming the credibility of its minimum deterrence doctrine.
The roots of Pakistan’s nuclear doctrine are based on the principles of regional peace and strategic stability.
The Armed Forces reiterated their unflinching resolve to defend the motherland against all threats. Pakistan’s military capability serves purely defensive purposes and remains a guarantor of peace.
On this significant day, the Armed Forces call upon the nation to renew their collective pledge for the security, progress, and prosperity of Pakistan.
The statement concluded by honouring the sacrifices of those who made this achievement possible and expressing solidarity with the people. Pakistan Zindabad.
