WNAM MONITORING: Pakistan on Monday reiterated its one-China policy, emphasizing it was the “cornerstone” of the South Asian nation’s foreign policy.
Rejecting “baseless and unfounded allegations to target Pakistan-China friendship,” the South Asian nation’s Foreign Ministry reaffirmed its “unwavering commitment to the foundational principle of the one-China Policy which is a consistent cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy and remains unchanged.”
In a statement, the ministry spokesman “emphasized that China was Pakistan’s all-weather strategic partner.”
“This relationship is characterized by mutual trust, shared values, support on issues of core concern and a commitment to regional and global stability,” said the spokesman.
Islamabad’s reiteration of the one-China policy comes after Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi denied attending any “anti-China” event during his ongoing trip to the US.
“Neither have I attended nor have I gone to any kind of anti-Chinese state event,” he told reporters in Houston, according to a video recording shared on the ministry’s X profile.
Naqvi was in the US meeting American lawmakers and social media posts discussed Naqvi visiting an organization dubbed allegedly to be anti-China.
“The main aim of my trip was to meet (US) politicians here to make a plan against terrorism,” said Naqvi, adding the past two years were “not good” for Pakistan.
