ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said Thursday that this impression is wrong that Pakistan is facing international isolation. In an interview with British Broadcasting Company, the aim of the US policies is to prevent the growing Chinese influence and India fits more in this policy, adding that this has led to increasing cooperation between India and the US. He said that Pakistan is standing at a right place in new international grouping and rejected as mere propaganda the impression that Pakistan is facing international isolation. The adviser said that the world won’t resolve Kashmir dispute but only the Kashmiris will resolve their dispute, adding that no one can suppress those who are sacrificing their lives for freedom. Commenting on the US Secretary of State John Kerry’s statement regarding terrorism in India, Aziz said that his statements would have been different if he had been in Pakistan. He said that Pakistan has conducted operation against all groups including the Haqqani network without any discrimination in Operation Zarb-e-Azb and National Action Plan (NAP). The adviser said that Pakistan regrets the whole world including the US instead condemning Indian violence in Kashmir have just expressed concern.
