Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has pledged to build Pakistan into a strong economic power that would become the envy of the world, in the same spirit of unity and resolve which was demonstrated on May 28, 1998. In a post on social media platform X, he expressed gratitude as the nation celebrates ‘Youm-e-Takbeer’, acknowledging divine blessings and celebrating a historic victory following recent Indian aggression.

According to Radio Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif highlighted the momentous decision made by Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif twenty-seven years ago, when he pursued a peaceful nuclear test despite opposition from powerful countries, securing Pakistan’s status as a nuclear power. The Prime Minister also paid tribute to Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto for his leadership and honored the scientists and engineers who brought the nation’s vision to life.

The Prime Minister further commended the armed forces for their steadfast resolve in defending Pakistan’s frontiers against external and internal threats, emphasizing the country’s commitment to maintaining its sovereignty and security.
