Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said on Tuesday that Pakistan would formulate policies keeping in view the supreme national interest.
The minister, while talking to media outside the Parliament, was of the view that conflict with any country was not in Pakistan’s interest.
“We do not want to end our ties with any country; we are just protecting and safeguarding our national interests.”
To a question, the minister said that during ambassadors’ conference ways to reevaluate countries policies were discussed. Pakistan’s interest was defined in the conference and the means to protect it were also discussed in detail, she said.
She said the conference also discussed the ways to move forward and make cordial ties with other countries, without compromising on the national interest. It is part of the consultation process, she asserted.
Khar informed the media men that recommendations of the conference would be sent to Parliament and its National Security Committee for approval.
“Being a supreme body, the Parliament has the authority to make polices”, she added.
Khar further said that the president, prime minister and all the institutions were on the same page.
Replying to question about NATO supply, she said the Parliament and the National Security Committee had the mandate to make the decisions.
