During the meeting, Chaudhry Jaffar Iqbal emphasized that Pakistan is a key player in the region and holds the distinction of being the largest military power in the Islamic world. He said, “Pakistan’s defense is invincible, and its future is bright. The conspiracies of Pakistan’s detractors will never succeed.

Chaudhry Jaffar highlighted the crucial role of journalists in these challenging times, saying, “Journalists are the eyes and ears of society, and we appreciate their efforts.”
He further remarked that the leadership of the PML-N has always been dedicated to public service, with a history of advancing the nation’s progress and improving the quality of life for its people. “Despite the current challenging circumstances, both the federal and provincial governments are doing their utmost to provide relief to the people, utilizing all available resources for public welfare.
