The main points of the National Security Policy have come to light as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government decided to make more than 100 pages of the policy public.
According to sources, Prime Minster Imran Khan will release 50-pages non-confidential policy points on Friday. The three main points of the policy include economy, military and human security.
Sources further said that economic security has been given a central position in the national security policy. For the first time in Pakistan, a comprehensive policy on national security has been formulated. The new security policy will be reviewed on an annual basis and the new government will have the power to change the policy.
Sources also said that the government will be bound to submit an implementation report to the National Security Committee every month.
In December last year, federal cabinet had approved the first ever comprehensive and consensus National Security Policy of Pakistan with special emphasis on economic strategy.
National Security Adviser Dr Moeed Yusuf said it is an umbrella document, which entails human security as well as population, health, climate, water, food, energy, and gender security. He said education has been clubbed with the economy.
