Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the country’s nuclear and strategic capabilities were safe and the nation will continue to strengthen its strategic capability in order to protect its interests.
The premier visited the Satellite Ground Station at the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), the national space agency, Wednesday night where he was briefed about its work in space, science and technology and its contributions toward the country’s national security and socio-economic development.
“Prime Minister reiterated that all available resources will be utilized in further strengthening strategic capabilities to preserve [the] sovereignty of the country,” Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.

During visit of various technical facilities and interaction with SUPARCO’s engineers and scientists, Prime Minister reiterated that all available resources will be utilized in further strengthening strategic capabilities to preserve sovereignty of the country.

“Pakistan’s nuclear and strategic capability is safe and secure under a robust command and control system,” the PMO added.
Pakistan currently has four remote sensing and communications satellites: two ground stations and two in orbit.
In July 2018, the space agency launched two satellites with the help of China.
Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry told Arab News in May the country had planned to send its first astronaut into space by 2022, saying a contract had been inked in this regard between SUPARCO and a Chinese space company.

In my opinion Imran Khan visit to SUPARCO is big event which requires our attention. Pakistan should slowly and steadily start its space program both for civilian and military usage.

Put a few journalists, army, politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers, civil servants, awam on top of missiles and aim for Venus. Will solve quite a lot of problems.

Let's wait and see.

Not sure why he had to acknowledge safety of Pakistani nuclear program. Did someone question the safety?

It seems like something that is done routinely for various diplomatic and strategic reasons. It is likely that it was asked as a question, and may have come in the backdrop of some statement by a foreign official or agency in this regard.

It may be in regards to the tensions in our neighborhood as well.

whenever we see some statement from a foreign official about our nuclear program or some article by an influential personality we used to give a statement that our nuclear program is in safe hands.

a statement by PM is his observation after receipt of briefing.

Interesting to consider, when you combine it with the DG ISPR's remark regarding war with India being very near effectively all the time. Safeguards need to be in place.

Everything starts from first step. Many laughed when Pakistan started its nuclear program and now Pakistan has one of the fastest growing nuclear program in the world. Therefore keep laughing, I just enjoy some people who are too afraid or under superiority complex.
