Pak US relations soon to return to normalcy, no Haqqani network in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Jan 07 (TNS): Foreign secretary Tehmina Janjua has said on Saturday that India is sponsoring terror in Pakistan using Afghan soil.

While addressing a seminar in Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Janjua asserted that Pakistan-United States relations would soon return to normalcy however, President Donald Trump’s anti-Pakistan tweet is beyond comprehension.

She continued by saying that America wants to assign a security role to India, which is matter of concern for Pakistan.

“India is directly carrying out terrorist activities in Pakistan. America, the NATO and the Afghan government do not control a major part of Afghanistan,” she said.

Janjua said that the US is a super power and it is like a neighbor in the region. She urged the US to adopt serious attitude towards Pakistan. “America is changing Asia-Pacific region into Indo-Pacific region. We have talked to Japan about the Indo-Pacific region,” she added.

She said that there is no Haqqani network in Pakistan.

Pakistan is desirous of better working relations with the States, she added.

The foreign secretary said that Indian premier Narendra Modi is fanning Hindu extremism and that misuse of Afghan soil against Pakistan is a fact. The Foreign Office (FO) official further said that Pakistan has good ties with China.

She further said that Pakistan is focusing on better terms with Russia as well.
