Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi extended heartiest congratulations to the Pakistan Air Force for their global recognition. He stated that "at the Royal International Air Show 2025, PAF made history by winning the 'Spirit of the Meet' and 'Concours d’Élégance' trophies through their spectacular display of the JF-17 Thunder and C-130 Hercules."
Interior Minister stated that these international accolades are a testament to the PAF's professional excellence, advanced aerial readiness, and world-class training standards. Praising the leadership of Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu, he said, "under his dynamic leadership, the Pakistan Air Force has once again shown the world that the guardians of Pakistan’s skies are ready in every domain."
The Interior Minister highlighted that PAF's performance at the world's largest air show compelled even the world’s leading air forces to appreciate it. He added, "In the recent Pakistan-India tensions, the PAF successfully foiled the enemy’s aerial ambitions, and now they have proved their superiority on the global stage as well."
Mohsin Naqvi described this achievement as an international recognition of a strong and self-reliant Pakistan — where passion, knowledge, and technology are the pillars of national defense. "PAF is not just an air force but a flagbearer of national spirit," said the Minister. "Its falcons have not only flown aircraft in the skies but have also elevated the dignity and confidence of the nation."
Interior Minister added that this success is more than just an aerial display — it is a clear message to the world: "Pakistan is ready — for every challenge, at every horizon."
The nation salutes its heroes, engineers, and leadership, who, under the command of Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu, have raised Pakistan’s name above the skies, said the Interior Minister.
