France has a lot to learn from Pakistan resilience

[Tipu7]

ISLAMABAD: In a visit to the French Embassy here Tuesday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif extended condolences for the lives lost during the Nov 13 terrorist attacks which hit Paris, said a statement issued by the Prime Minister House.

Speaking to the prime minister, French Ambassador to Pakistan Martine Dorance said the French people and government had a lot to learn from the Pakistani nation and government's resilience.

The premier said Pakistan shares the pain and grief of the French people.

"This is an appalling incident and we ourselves are the victim of terrorism," the prime minister said.

Ambassador Dorance thanked the prime minister for this gesture.

Earlier on Monday, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif condoled the deaths of the Paris terror attacks at the French Embassy.

Asif wrote a message in a condolence book at the French Embassy in Islamabad and observed a minute of silence alongside the staff in honour of the victims of the attack.

At least 129 people were killed in the attacks claimed by the self-styled Islamic State group in the French capital. Gunmen and suicide bombers attacked various locations, including a concert hall, restaurants and the national stadium.

Pakistan had earlier "strongly" condemned the attacks and reiterated its condemnation of terrorism in all forms and manifestations.

"We stand with them in their hour of grief," the Foreign Office had said in a statement at the time.

Either the ambassador is really sad or just really hates NS.

Good thing we offered our services but this is quite a different terrorist approach lets see

No doubt its true... We have seen death plague our cities, we have seen loved ones lost, innocent people crying and screaming as their loves ones lay dead and yet even after the horrors we are optimistic about the future, we believe that good things are ahead and we can survive this intact we have survived this and have become more united than ever.

I remember the times magazine in 2010 called us the bravest nation in the world and that's how we survived the horrors. It is not a bad comment. It highlights that they understand our plight as we understand theirs above all else and thus france can learn from our resilience and survival. Its a positive comment for both nations and both nations can grow closer this way.... There was a time that threat of suicide attack was so much that any place of gathering was a threat.

Only help we can provide is to tell them that their actions of banning Niqab and making fun of Hazrat MUHAMMAD SAW and their intervention in Syria and Iraq is only increasing hatred against them in entire Muslim world. France needs to renew its policy.

I agree. Often the strings are being pulled by bigger players like in Marriot, Islamabad.

western european countries are not used to losing lives, its not like WW2 were masses of ppl were getting wiped out, the fact is in pakistan we've adapted ourself to the mayhem its been there for years even before 9/11 (political/gang violence), for the europeans its something new. I can say this if the french lost a fraction of the men we've lost to fighting terrorism i'm a 110% sure they would have surrendered and retreated just like they did in the 50s against vietnam. same goes with britain if the british army lost anywhere close to the numbers we've suffered they would have packed there bags and the all the top people in the MOD would have to resign. The public is basically the Achilles heel in these countries, despite the superior technology, if a few die its a major thing.
