ISLAMABAD, Aug 21, (Xinhua): Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed his country's unyielding commitment to defeating all forms of terrorism. "Pakistan stood in solidarity with victims of terrorism across the globe...the solidarity reflects the Pakistani nation's deepest sentiments," the prime minister said on Wednesday on the occasion of the International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism.

Highlighting the impacts of terrorism on Pakistan, he said that the country has paid the heaviest price in the fight against terrorism, sacrificing over 90,000 precious lives and suffering massive economic losses. Underlining counter-terrorism successes, Sharif said that the country has launched numerous military operations and intelligence-based actions that crushed terrorist networks, thwarted countless terrorist plots and saved many lives.

"The crucial (counter-terrorism) National Action Plan embodies our comprehensive strategy against terrorism, combining ground operations with ideological, administrative, institutional, and narrative-based measures against extremism," he said. The premier added that national solidarity against terrorism is the guarantee of peace, stability, prosperity, and a bright future for Pakistan.
