ISLAMABAD: The nation is fervently celebrating 25th anniversary of Pakistan’s nuclear tests conducted on May 28, 1998 which was a historic day that led to achievement of invincible defense capabilities and ensured regional stability through power equilibrium.
The day brought a revival for the entire Pakistani nation and became a moment of pride for the Muslim Ummah.
The day, now remembered as Youm-e-Takbeer is being celebrated every year across the country as a day of national pride and thanksgivings which made Pakistan the seventh nuclear nation of the world and the first Muslim state, having the nuclear arsenal in its defense stockpile to exercise maximum deterrence for peaceful purposes.
The tests not only demonstrated the resolve of the Pakistani nation to safeguard Pakistan’s territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty, but also the desire to preserve strategic balance in South Asia.
The history of acquiring the modern nuclear technology for exercising maximum restraint and for purely peaceful purposes, entails commitment, patriotism and strong obligation on the part of Pakistani leadership, for territorial integrity of the country.
