The Pakistani government and its Armed Forces are determined to continue war against terrorism and solve the pending regional issues and improve ties with all neighboring countries, said Pakistani Ambassador to Egypt Mushtaq Ali Shah.

Delivering a speech during a celebration held by the Pakistani Embassy in Egypt on the occasion marking the 50th anniversary of its 1965 war against India, the ambassador said that the cost of the campaign launched by his country against the terrorist groups hit 1.9 billion dollars last year.
