Given the threats we face in the region, and the growing threat of hybrid warfare, they will continue to receive even greater support and importance,\u201d Khan said.<\/p>\n<p> The powerful army, which has ruled Pakistan for more than half of its 70 plus years of existence, has hitherto wielded considerable power in the matters of security and foreign policy.<\/p>\n<p> The five-year-policy document which took seven years to prepare, is being propped up by the Khan government as the country\u2019s first-ever strategy paper of its kind that spells out the national security vision and guidelines for the attainment of those goals.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We need to realise that our biggest security is when the people become stakeholders and stand up for the country. And this can be achieved through inclusive growth. We need to develop as a nation, not in sections,\u201d Khan said.<\/p>\n<p> The main themes of the National Security Policy are national cohesion, securing an economic future, defence and territorial integrity, internal security, foreign policy in a changing world and human security.<\/p>\n<p> The launch ceremony was attended by Federal Ministers, National Security Adviser, Parliamentarians, Chairman Joint Chief of Staff Committee, all Services Chiefs, senior civil and military officials, among others.<\/p>\n<p> Khan also said that the primary objective of Pakistan\u2019s foreign policy and military might was to keep peace in the region.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe foremost aim of our foreign policy and military capability will remain peace and stability in the region and beyond,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p> NSA Moeed Yusuf in his remarks briefly explained the National Security Policy vision and thanked the prime minister and all officials for their constant support.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe National Security Policy has taken a broad view of national security as both traditional and non-traditional issues impacted our security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p> Yusuf also said that while the National Security Policy is centered on economic security, the geo-strategic and geo-political imperatives also feature prominently to strengthen Pakistan security and standing in the world.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The policy puts economic security at the core. A stronger economy would create additional resources which would then be distributed to further bolster military and human security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p> On the foreign front, the new policy highlights disinformation, Hindutva, and the use of aggression for domestic political gains as key threats from India, the Express Tribune newspaper reported.<\/p>\n<p> The report, quoting Yusuf, said the policy places the Jammu and Kashmir issue as the core of the bilateral relationship.<\/p>\n<p> When asked about the message it sends to India, Yusuf said: \u201cit tells India to do the right thing and jump on the bandwagon to benefit from regional connectivity to uplift our peoples. It also tells India, if you don&#8217;t want to do the right thing, it will be a loss to the entire region, but most of all India.\u201d \t Yusuf said the document was finalised after full civil and military consensus.<\/p>\n<p> Earlier, after the approval of the policy, Yusuf said that the policy had been in the making since 2014 and all stakeholders were taken on board before its finalisation, adding that it would be updated after every five years.<\/p>\n<p> The NSP 2022-2026 was last month approved by the Cabinet as well as by the National Security Committee. It articulates a citizen-centric framework, placing economic security at its core and seeking a secure and economically resilient Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p> The original version of the policy will remain classified, but a public version of the document has been released. The main themes are national cohesion, securing an economic future, defence and territorial integrity, internal security, foreign policy in a changing world and human security.
