The implications of the bill introduced in the US Senate cannot be ignored, Shah Mehmood said
During the press conference, Shah Mehmood Qureshi was asked in the US Senate about the anti-Pakistan bill regarding the fall of Kabul. He replied that its implications cannot be ignored. The government is aware of the bill and has taken the right position. She will try her best to explain it.
However he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat President Conte's government.
"Pakistan believes in engagement, engagement and defending its interests. We will defend Pakistan's interests and our position because we have so much to tell the US Congress," he said.
He said that they have to understand what positive role Pakistan has played in fighting terrorism and facilitating the peace process. To make Pakistan a scapegoat without knowing the reasons behind the defeat in Afghanistan is to ignore the real facts. ۔
The Foreign Minister said that he must understand the need for partnership with Pakistan in the future in order to achieve stability in Afghanistan and the region.
He said the bill should not be given too much importance and warned that certain lobbies in the United States and neighboring countries in our region want to escalate the problem.
