Islamabad: The US should not view its ties with Pakistan from the the Indian lens or Afghan perspective, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said.
The relations between Pakistan and the US nosedived this January after President Donald Trump accused Islamabad of giving nothing to Washington but “lies and deceit” and providing “safe haven” to terrorists.
Qureshi said Pakistan’s ties with the US could not be undermined easily, the News reported. “The relations with US are improving gradually. I have made it clear to the US authorities that Pakistan wants bilateral relations with Washington based on mutual respect and reciprocity,” he said on Saturday.
He also said it would be wrong to expect that all differences between the US and Pakistan could be resolved in one day, the report said.
The Pakistan foreign minister said regional situations evolve and requirements change, but Pakistan’s contribution for peace and stability in the region should be acknowledged. (PTI)
