He added that balancing these three objectives demonstrates a strategy based on clear prioritization, while maintaining flexibility in choosing the right means to address challenges. This, he said, helps protect national interests and avoid escalation.

Batarfi also pointed out that defensive capability strengthens the seriousness of diplomacy, while diplomacy gives all parties a chance to avoid the costs of confrontation. He stressed the importance of combining defensive readiness with diplomatic engagement to achieve security and stability.
