Pakistan Armed Forces Extend Congratulations on Youm-e-Takbeer, Reaffirm Commitment to National Defence
The Pakistan Armed Forces, along with the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) and the services chiefs, have extended heartfelt felicitations to the nation on the occasion of Youm-e-Takbeer, observed annually on May 28 to mark Pakistan’s historic emergence as a nuclear power in 1998.
In an official statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Youm-e-Takbeer was described as a symbol of strategic balance in South Asia and a testament to Pakistan’s credible national defence autonomy.
The military lauded the day as a reflection of the nation’s unity, resilience, and determination to live with dignity and peace. Pakistan’s nuclear capability, the statement emphasized, is a sacred national trust representing the collective will and aspirations of the people.
The Armed Forces paid glowing tribute to the visionary leadership, scientists, and engineers who played a pivotal role in achieving nuclear capability. The statement highlighted Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding sovereignty through a minimum credible deterrence, rooted in the principles of regional peace and strategic stability.
Reaffirming their mission, the Armed Forces underscored that Pakistan’s military strength is purely defensive in nature and acts as a guarantor of peace.
On this significant day, the Armed Forces urged the nation to renew their pledge for the security, prosperity, and development of Pakistan. The statement concluded with a tribute to the sacrifices of those who contributed to this milestone and a unifying message: Pakistan Zindabad
