During the interview, Lt. Gen. Chaudhry emphasized that Pakistan’s greatest strength lies in its people and their unwavering determination. “After Allah, we rely the most on ourselves. When determination is strong, the international community also plays its role,” he said.
He highlighted the numerous global challenges the world is currently facing, including climate change, population growth, and economic issues. In such times, he stressed that it is unacceptable for any country to attack another based on baseless and false narratives.
General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry was clear in stating that no country should attempt to establish dominance over its neighbors.

Lt. Gen. Chaudhry also praised China’s remarkable development, stating, “The world should learn from China’s rapid development despite a large population in a short time.” He noted that the people of Pakistan also seek peace, stability, and development, with peace being their foremost priority.
Highlighting the current sentiment in Pakistan, he said, “Today, the people of Pakistan are celebrating the joy of peace, not victory. We thank Allah for this. We are a peace-loving nation, and you will see, Insha’Allah, Pakistan will rapidly progress.”
This interview serves as a reminder of Pakistan’s steadfast resolve in the face of regional challenges and its commitment to peace, development, and collaboration with global partners, especially China.
