Pakistan on Wednesday categorically rejected what it called “inappropriate references” in a joint statement issued after the US-India 2+2 ministerial talks, asking Islamabad to take “immediate, sustained and irreversible action” to ensure It is possible that no area is under his control. Used for terrorist attacks.

The Foreign Office termed it unfortunate that a bilateral cooperation mechanism was used to target third countries for political gains and to mislead public opinion of real and emerging terrorism threats. “The unnecessary reference in the statement to certain non-existent and destroyed entities reflects the misplaced counter-terrorism focus of both countries,” the FO said.

Referring to the India-US joint statement issued in Washington on April 11, it said, “The statements made against Pakistan in the statement are malicious and do not have any credibility.” The FO said it also conveyed its concerns to the US. The concerns and disapproval of the inappropriate reference to Pakistan in the US-India statement have been conveyed to the US side through diplomatic channels,” it said.

It said that Pakistan has remained a prominent, active, credible and willing partner of the international community in the global fight against terrorism over the past two decades and its successes and sacrifices have been unparalleled and widely acknowledged by the international community, including the US. No country in the region has sacrificed more for peace than Pakistan.

It said that India’s offensive against Pakistan was actually a desperate attempt to hide its “atrocities” in Jammu and Kashmir. “We expect and urge partner countries to take an objective approach to issues of peace and security in South Asia and refrain from associating themselves with positions that are unilateral, politically motivated and alien to ground reality,” the statement said. Huh.”
