ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib said on Tuesday that Pakistan was a peace loving country and was playing its role for world peace and stability. In a message on world peace day, the Minister of State said Pakistan’s role in the UN peacekeeping mission was a practical example.
Farrukh Habib said that 161 Pakistan Army personnel have sacrificed their lives so far for world peace and stability. He said that 220 million Pakistanis salute martyred Pakistan Army soldiers for their sacrifices.
