Sialkot: (Web Desk) – Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has said Pakistan has made unprecedented progress over the past 18 months and is now being recognised internationally as a symbol of peace rather than terrorism.

Addressing the annual convocation of a private college in Sialkot, he said the present government had achieved milestones unmatched in Pakistan’s 78-year history.

Khawaja Asif credited Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Field Marshal for helping facilitate a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, saying their efforts helped prevent further instability in the Middle East.

Khawaja Asif thanked the people of Sialkot, saying his political journey began in the city and his family would always remain indebted to its residents.
