Pakistan will continue to maintain its minimum defensive deterrence with focus on security till the resolution of all outstanding disputes with India, including Kashmir, President Pervez Musharraf [Images] said on Tuesday.

"In Pakistan's regional context, traditional security remains paramount and Pakistan would maintain the quantifying force level both in conventional and unconventional fields," Musharraf said.

He was speaking at a two-day international seminar on 'Security in South Asia in the Non-traditional Spheres and Human Security' organised by the Institute of Regional Studies.

Asserting that Pakistan will continue to maintain its strategy of minimum defensive deterrence in the conventional and unconventional fields, Musharraf said conventional defence is being reinforced with improvement in the accuracy and lethality of weapon systems.

Enumerating the national security strategy, Musharraf said it contains a strong defence, a successful foreign policy and rapprochement with India.

It also contains a strategy of enlightened moderation, an economic turnaround and transmitting the economic gains to people at the grass roots level.

He said the country's political strategy focuses on weaning away people in tribal areas from the militant Taliban.
