He said, “The Pakistan Air Force, with its initiatives like JF-17 programme, is not only rendering valuable services for strengthening the national defence but is also affording a valuable opportunity to the country’s youth. An opportunity involving a more constructive and positive approach to life that offers education, livelihood and training, leading to a better life and respect in the league of nations.”
