In his special message on International Peace Day on Saturday, Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that Almighty Allah created the world for peace and harmony.

He said homes, streets, neighborhoods, societies, villages, cities, countries, regions, and continents look beautiful and livable only with peace. He said chaos and disorder cause widespread devastation and pose multiple threats to peace.

The Interior Minister expressed concern that societies are currently divided into groups, factions, and sects, harming the efforts for peace around the world. He said regional conflicts have endangered peace in every region, severely affecting the desire for peace.

He emphasized that global powers must take practical and pragmatic steps towards sustainable peace beyond verbal commitments. He reiterated that regions entangled in conflicts including occupied Kashmir, Palestine, and others yearn for peace, while the silence of global powers makes no sense.

Mohsin Naqvi also highlighted Pakistan’s constructive role in ensuring global peace, particularly during difficult times. He said Pakistan has played the role of vanguard in UN peace missions. He said several brave soldiers of Pakistan’s peace missions were martyred during efforts to restore peace and stability in dangerous and turbulent regions.

The Interior Minister stated that the sacrifices of martyred brave officers and soldiers in the path of peace will always be remembered. He also stressed the need to remember those people who sacrificed their lives to establish peace in the country.
