ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani said the government was fully aware and capable of meeting country's defence needs and was pursuing the policy of credible minimum deterrence to maintain peace and stability in the region.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing a gathering of nuclear scientists during his maiden visit to Kahuta Research Laboratories at the outskirts of federal capital here, where he was provided a briefing on the working of the nuclear setup.
Prime Minister Gilani said the government was focusing on a strong defence preparedness and stable economy for sustainable peace in the region.
'We will do our best and the government will take care of all the defence needs,' he said and added that strong defence and political security leads to economic stability.
The Prime Minister said Pakistan was a frontline state in the war against terrorism and it needed international support towards its stability.
'A strong and stable Pakistan is in the interest of the whole world,' Gilani said, hoping that the Friends of Pakistan group in its meeting in Tokyo would deliberate upon extending economic assistance to the country.
He said the government was striving to ensure political stability and build strong economy, and added that the government was taking steps in this regard.
The Prime Minister appreciated the contribution of Kahuta Research Laboratories towards the country's defence by reinforcing credible minimum deterrence in shape of nuclear capability.
Gilani paid tribute to KRL scientists for their hard work and dedication, and described them as a 'real asset' for the nation. He said the government would establish an institute for research-based studies in the higher education system.
