"Our enemy must know that Pakistan's aerial defence is impregnable," Sharif said, addressing the graduation parade at a Pakistan Air Force Academy.

Pakistan is a peace-loving country and will play a responsible role for promoting peace in the world, he said.

The graduates included cadets from Saudi Arabia.
