“The remarks of the Indian NSA are replete with distortions and misrepresentations. They not only reflect a deliberate attempt to mislead the public but also violate the norms of responsible statecraft,” Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan claimed at a press conference here when asked to comment on the Indian NSA’s remarks.
“Glorification of conflict benefits no one. The path of a lasting peace lies in dialogue, mutual respect and adherence to international law,” he said.
He also said that Pakistan will be participating in the upcoming SCO Foreign Ministers’ meeting, but “we do not have any meeting planned with the Indian side”.
To a question about the terrorist sanctuaries in Afghanistan, he said that is a challenge. “We continue to pursue this topic with Afghanistan, and we hope the Afghan authorities will take more serious action on this,” he said. PTI SH ZH ZH
