The Embassy of Pakistan Berlin hosted the Defense of Pakistan Day reception, to mark golden jubilee of 1965 Pakistan-India war. The event was attended by a large number of high level officials from the German Defense Establishment, Federal Foreign Office and other ministries. More than 60 countries were represented by their Ambassadors and Defense Corps says a press release received here on Tuesday from Berlin.
Ambassador Syed Hasan Javed in his remarks, paid homage to the valiant soldiers of Pakistan, especially national heroes such as Air Commodore M. M. Alam, who defeated the enemy's hegemonic designs and set a world record by destroying five air crafts in a minute, during the 1965 Pakistan-India war. While reaffirming Pakistan's commitment to regional peace and stability, he underlined that our armed forces have the capability to deter any threat to the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Calling for a peaceful and lasting resolution of Jammu and Kashmir dispute, he observed that the plight of the Kashmiris living in the largest "concentration zone" in the world is a direct challenge to the credibility of the United Nations, at its 70th birthday. Germany having suffered devastation in two world wars knows best the importance of shared values of justice, tolerance, co-existence, peace and freedom, he added.
