ISLAMABAD: Newly appointed Foreign Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif has claimed that India was not responding positively to improve ties despite various overtures from Islamabad.
Addressing a press conference at Punjab House here on Sunday, the FM also alleged New Delhi of conspiring with Washington to sabotage the Indus Water Treaty.
“Pakistan has always wanted to have good relations with its neighbours, especially India and Afghanistan, but both countries were not giving any positive response to Pakistan’s initiatives for durable peace in the region,” he said.
Asif warned that Pakistan’s desire for peace and good relations with neighbours should not be construed as its weakness.
“India was also supporting the conspiracies being hatched by Afghanistan against Pakistan in a bid to destabilise this country economically and politically,” he alleged.
