Islamabad, December 28

Pakistan’s cabinet on Tuesday endorsed the country’s first-ever National Security Policy that emphasised that economic progress should be at the centre of national security, a move criticised by the opposition parties who accused the government of ignoring the parliament while formulating the new policy.

In a series of tweets, National Security Adviser Dr Moeed Yusuf called it a “historic moment” for the country, saying the Cabinet has adopted the document which was approved by the high-powered National Security Committee (NSC) on Monday. — PTI
