The United States has made it clear that the recent sanctions imposed on companies allegedly supplying missile components to Pakistan will not dent the bilateral relations with Pakistan.
The State Department emphatically declared that there’s ‘absolutely no’ undercurrent of discord between the United States and Pakistan, despite recent sanctions. Addressing the daily news briefing in Washington on Thursday, State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel played down concerns about political tensions arising from the sanctions, saying: “Pakistan continues to be one of our most important partners in the region. There continues to be a lot of cooperation that we have with the government of Pakistan, especially in the security space and trade sector.”
