Resolution reflects ignorance of Pakistan’s electoral process: FO

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan says the US House of Representatives’ resolution on political situation in Pakistan stems from an incomplete understanding of the political situation and electoral process.

In response to media queries regarding the passage of House Resolution 901, Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra-Baloch said, “Pakistan believes that timing and context of this resolution does not align well with the positive dynamics of Pak-US bilateral ties.”

She said Pakistan, as the world’s second-largest parliamentary democracy and fifth-largest democracy overall, was committed to the values of constitutionalism, human rights and rule of law in pursuance of our own national interest.

The Foreign Office spokesperson said Pakistan believes in constructive dialogue and engagement based on mutual respect and understanding, and such resolutions are therefore neither constructive nor objective. She said: “We hope that the US Congress will play a supportive role in strengthening Pakistan-US ties and focus on avenues of mutual collaboration that benefit both our peoples and countries.”
