Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on Tuesday said that Balochistan was Pakistan’s internal matter and it could only be solved by Balochistan Assembly not the US Congress.
While talking to scholars and senior analysts at the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS), Khar said that the resolution moved in the US Congress regarding Balochistan was unacceptable, adding that such a move could only aggravate Pakistan’s already estranged ties with US and distance the two allies even further.
She said that the bill was not only contrary to the principles of UN Charter and international law, but also the very fundamentals of the long-standing Pak-US relations.
Regarding ties with India, she said keeping the dialogue alive on top of exhibiting mature-sightedness would be the right thing to do for both neighbors.
Khar further said that the future of Pakistan and Afghanistan was associated with each other.
Going ahead, Khar tied Pakistan’s future with Afghanistan’s vowing unwavering support for peace process in the war-torn country.
