Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Saturday emphasised that Pakistan will be rid of the menace of terrorism.
Meeting with a delegation from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at his Raiwind residence in Punjab, the prime minister, while referring to the all-party meeting held Wednesday after the barbaric attack on an army-run school in Peshawar, said the unity demonstrated by political and national parties was the first step in eliminating terrorism from Pakistan, The News International reported.
The UAE delegation expressed their sorrow over Tuesday's massacre at the Army Public School in Peshawar, which left more than 140 students and teachers dead.
The prime minister stressed that the government was working on development and relief projects at a speedy pace.
