Purpose of US visit not to collect dollars, says FM Qureshi
WASHINGTON (92 News) – Minister for Foreign Affairs Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Monday said that the purpose of his visit to the US was not to seek aid but build deteriorating ties between the two countries.
In an interview with American TV channel, Qureshi said, “I am not here to talk dollars and cents, I am not here seeking aid.” He said that Pakistan wants to fix a relationship that went sour – a relationship that has mutually-benefited both the sides.
“We have been allies for a long time, it is time to rebuild that powerful relationship. We expect you to respect our legal process, as we respect yours,” the foreign minister said.
