Pak wargames conclude; forces can thwart any attack, says President
Islamabad, July 26: Pakistan today concluded its biggest wargame in three decades with President Pervez Musharraf asserting that its armed forces were capable of delivering a `telling blow` to `anyone` attacking the country even as world leaders visit the sub-continent to de-escalate tension between New Delhi and Islamabad.
"The potential of Pakistan armed forces to not only defend every inch of the motherland but also strike a telling blow on anyone who dared to violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country", the military ruler said while expressing satisfaction over successful completion of the 10-day long exercises.
All three wings of its defence forces -- army, navy and airforce participated in the wargame.
Addressing senior army officers and those who participated in the exercises, he said "our desire for peace should not be misperceived as a sign of weakness" according to a defence ministry release this evening.
