Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said September 6 was the day to make the pledge that with unity, solidarity and sense of brotherhood Pakistan would be made a welfare state with impregnable defence.
In a message on the occasion of Defence Day, she said the day was celebrated to express solidarity with the brave Kashmiris.
She said the message for the world was that permanent peace in South Asia was not possible without solving the Kashmir issue according to the United Nations Security Council resolutions and in line with the wishes of the people of Kashmir.
Kashmir was the jugular vein and first line of defence of Pakistan, she said adding defending the viewpoint of Kashmiris was akin to strengthening the defence of Pakistan.
The Defence Day reminded of those days of war of September,1965 when the armed forces and people of Pakistan fully defended the independence, integrity and honour of the country against the aggression of India, she added.
