The nuclear assets of Pakistan, he said, are fully guarded by a reliable command and control system and the apprehensions expressed in this context are nothing but lack of knowledge.

“Our bilateral relations are focused on promoting economic ties and better understanding of challenges confronting the region. Our interactions with the leadership of the United States have always been very fruitful,” he added.

The Prime Minister said the understanding shown by the US Administration to the geo-political situation of Pakistan and our commitment to the cause of international peace has always been appreciated.

Ambassador Mehmud Ali Durrani apprised the Prime Minister of the perceptions about Pakistan in the American media and as perceived by the US administration.
