"The people of Pakistan desire nothing which is not their own, nothing more than the good-will and friendship of the free nations of the world. We in Pakistan are determined that having won our long-lost freedom we will work to the utmost limit of our capacity not only to build up a strong and happy state of our own but to contribute in the fullest possible measure to international peace and prosperity."
