First and foremost, we send our condolences to the victims’ families. We sincerely hope that they will find the strength to deal with this tragedy. We also wish a quick and speedy recovery to those who are injured. It is easy to see that certain terrorist elements do not want to see peace prevail in the country. They are fully focused on working against the government’s quest for peace and send the nation into chaos and frenzy. The seriousness of the situation requires us to remain united against the enemies of peace, and refrain from indulging in conspiracy theories that lets the culprits off the hook. Despite these attacks on both sides of the border, the terrorists have been unable to break our shared will and desire to succeed in our peace mission. We fully support Pakistani government’s efforts to restore peace in the country, and certainly hope to work closely in regards to our shared peace objectives in the region.
