Apart from relevant Federal Ministers, it is being attended by all the three services chiefs.
The National Security Committee (NSC) on Wednesday made a decision to keep a robust defense posture to ensure national security in a challenging environment.
It should be mentioned that this is the second meeting of NSC in a week. The committee also analyse the internal and external security situation, Indian ceasefire violations on Line of Control (LoC) and developments in nation anti-terrorism project Operation Radd-ul Fassad. General Naveed Mukhtar and senior civil and military officials were also present in the meeting.
National Security Committee (NSC) chose to form sub-committee in order to develop a counter strategy against the US President Donald Trump's allegations of active safe havens for terrorists in Pakistan.
In response to the US President Donald Trump's recent speech, in which he declared a revised policy towards Afghanistan, National Security Committee meeting was called by Prime Minister Khaqan Abbasi.
Abbasi said that issue of Afghanistan can only be solved through politics.
While noting the USA commitment to continue to shoulder the burden of Afghanistan and reverse the expanding ungoverned spaces in the country, the National Security Committee observed that Pakistan has consistently supported all global efforts for a stable and peaceful Afghanistan and has also committed more than a billion U.S. dollars for infrastructure and social development in that country.
