ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said the West’s policies to stay aloof do not support the war against terror and will only give rise to terrorism.
Participating in a panel discussion on countering extremism and terrorism at the Munich Security Conference 2017 he said 90 percent victims of terrorism are Muslims.
Khawaja Asif said Pakistan is a partner with the whole world to wipe out the menace of terrorism.
He said terrorism is not synonymous with any religion and terrorists are neither Muslims nor Christians but only criminals.
The conference was attended by German Interior Minister, United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Nigeria’s National Security Advisor and European Union’s commissioner for Security.
Senior government officials of various other countries also participated in the conference.
