Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, during his visit to Germany, met German Secretary of State on Foreign Affairs Emily Haber on Friday and discussed the regional situation and Pakistan’s role in the war on terror. The chief minister said that the crises being faced by Pakistan could not be viewed in isolation from the global scenario of the 1980s and Pakistan’s role in that situation. He said that the Pakistan Army and the people of the country rendered great sacrifices in the war against terrorism. He said that besides military action, measures for the welfare and development of the people were essential to win the war on terror. He also expressed concern over the abduction of German social workers in Pakistan and assured that the government was making every possible effort to recover them and apprehend the criminals.
