National Security Advisor Moeed Yousuf briefed the committee on the National Security Policy. It merits mention that identifying Kashmir as vital national security interest means that any threat to vital national security interest would evoke war. “Jammu and Kashmir is vital national security interest for Pakistan and no normalisation can take place while compromising Kashmir dispute,” he added. Spokesperson of MOFA Asim Iftikhar said that the policy document describes Kashmir dispute as vital national security interest. Moeed Yousaf said that the National Security Division had briefed the Parliamentary Committee on National Security but the opposition had observed its boycott for political reasons.
