ISLAMABAD, 14 December 2021, (TON): Prime Minister Imran Khan said that Pakistan had not been credited by western countries for the sacrifices made during the decades-long global war on terror.
The premier's remarks came during his address to the opening session of Margalla Dialogue 2021 in Islamabad.
The premier stated that the country faced immense collateral damage and was the only country in the US-led alliance which suffered more than 80,000 casualties, displacement of millions and over Rs100bn in economic losses.
Imran also regretted that Pakistan was not able to effectively present its point of view before the world.
Referring to national security, the prime minister said the focus was on military power but "it [national security] is actually an all-encompassing thing. You can't have national security until there is inclusive growth".
He said sans inclusive growth, inequality becomes the basis of discord in society.
