He said Pakistan desired peaceful coexistence with India and all other neighbouring countries but any "threat to its security will be thwarted", reports Xinhua.

Hussain's remarks come amid tensions between India and Pakistan following cross-border shelling and firing on their Jammu and Kashmir border.

The national security advisers of Pakistan and India will meet in New Delhi later this month.
