FO condemns the Canadian Minister’s comments

• Pakistan called the Canadian Minister’s remarks “baseless and misleading.”
• Saying such remarks exposes a complete lack of understanding of the problem.
• The spokesman said: “We have urged the Canadian authorities to take measures to address this motivated and malicious defamation activity.”

Islamabad: Pakistan strongly condemned the “baseless” comments made by Canadian Minister Chris Alexander on Monday and made “baseless and misleading” assertions about Pakistan’s role in the Afghan peace process.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a series of tweets that such remarks exposed a complete lack of understanding of the problem and ignorance of the facts on the ground.

“Now, when the world recognizes that Pakistan and Prime Minister Imran Khan have consistently insisted that the Afghanistan conflict cannot be resolved through military solutions and that it requires an inclusive, broad-based and comprehensive political solution, such unwarranted comments are regrettable,” said the statement. People say.

Alexander made baseless accusations against Pakistan and claimed that the country supports the Taliban in Afghanistan.

FO added that the Pakistani authorities will share these concerns with the Canadian authorities.

“This matter has been discussed with the Canadian side. We have urged the Canadian authorities to take measures to address such motivated and malicious defamation activities,” it added.
