The foreign secretary said Pakistan is fully capable of thwarting all threats from the IS or any other extremist organisation, adding that the country was winning the war against terror with full support of its people.
‘Pakistan abhors all forms of terror’
National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq on Sunday said Pakistan abhors all manifestations of terrorism and extremism and stands firmly behind the people and the government of France in the wake of the recent terror attacks in Paris.
Addressing a function organised by the Foreign Office in Islamabad, Sadiq said Pakistan, itself a victim of terrorism for over a decade, shared the grief and pain of the French people.
Calling terrorism a common challenge for the modern human civilisation, he said such heinous attacks are not representative of any religion or moral system.

Sadiq said Pakistan is willing to extend support to the global community in this fight.
