The Pakistan Army on Saturday observed the 24th anniversary of the country's nuclear tests and said it established a 바카라credible minimum nuclear deterrence바카라 and restored the "balance of power" in the region.
Both the Pakistan Army and Foreign Office issued separate statements to mark the 24th anniversary of the May 28, 1998 nuclear tests, codenamed 'Yaum-e-Takbeer' (The day of greatness).
Pakistan carried out the tests after India conducted a series of five nuclear test explosions at Pokhran in May, 1998.
바카라Pakistan established credible minimum nuclear deterrence, restoring balance of power in the region,바카라 the Pakistan Army said in a statement.
바카라Armed Forces pay tribute to all those who worked selflessly, stayed steadfast against all odds and made this possible,바카라 it said.
Separately, the Foreign Office (FO) said the tests not only demonstrated the resolve of the Pakistani nation to safeguard Pakistan바카라s territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty, but also the desire to preserve strategic balance in South Asia.
바카라Pakistan is committed to the promotion of an environment of peace and stability in South Asia, while preserving its capability to ward off aggression or adventurism in any form,바카라 it said.
It added that threats to strategic stability in South 9sia underscore the importance of Pakistan바카라s proposal for Strategic Restraint Regime (SRR) which provides for measures for the resolution of outstanding issues, including the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir, nuclear and missile restraints; and conventional balance.
Pakistan is a partner in international efforts to strengthen the global non-proliferation regime based on the principles of non-discrimination and equal security for all states, the statement said.
The FO also said the nation also appreciates the contributions of Pakistan바카라s nuclear programme to the country바카라s socio-economic development.
This year, operationalisation of the second 1100 MWe K-3 Nuclear Power Plant in Karachi marks another milestone, which signifies the role of nuclear science and technology for socio-economic development and welfare of the people of Pakistan, it said.
