Prime Minister Imran Khan has termed Pakistan's biggest
mistake as the ally of the United States after 9/11, saying 70,000 Pakistanis
were killed in this war and 200 billion economy was damaged.
Prime Minister Imran Khan, while talking to the Council on
Foreign Relations, said on a question on Pakistan's economy, "When the
economy is not able to achieve success due to deficit, we have to go to the IMF
and unfortunately we have the worst current account. We have lost about 70% of
the deficit and we are moving in the right direction.
"When we came to government, it was the worst economic
situation and China helped us. If China did not support Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates, we were going to bankruptcy," he said.
The Prime Minister said that "China is currently
providing us with business opportunities and there is a good chance of the
Chinese industry moving to Pakistan".
Talking about Pakistan's role in the US war in Afghanistan,
he said, "Jihadists were created first in Afghanistan and then they are
being declared terrorists".
Prime Minister Imran Khan said, 'Joining the US after 9/11
was Pakistan's biggest mistake as it killed 70 Pakistanis, some Pakistani
experts say more than 150 billion and some say 200 More than a billion economy
has been damaged. '
He said, "I think the worst and the worst lesson for
Pakistan is now and Pakistan knows, and when Mattis says that Pakistan is an
extremist state, it is because we created jihad and Later we started hitting
them, that's why we got into trouble. '
On one question, he said that the Taliban wanted to meet
with me, but the Afghan government did not want to cancel the meeting.
The Prime Minister said that we talk about various issues
with China which I will not mention here, but we are also looking at the issues
of Afghanistan. Then there are issues between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Speaking on questions regarding China, he said that China
focused on trade and what I like best about China is to expel millions of
citizens from poverty and that is my goal.
He said that China took great action against corruption and
I wish my country could do the same against corruption.
The Prime Minister said peace talks with the Taliban were
postponed when signatures were about to take place. We would probably have
played a role if we were consulted.
He said that India is not going in the right direction at
the moment and that racist actions in India are against the views of Gandhi.
