Pakistan on Wednesday said that US House of Representatives’ resolution on political situation in Pakistan stems from an incomplete understanding of the political situation and electoral process in Pakistan.
In response to media queries regarding the passage of House Resolution 901, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Pakistan believes that timing and context of this resolution does not align well with the positive dynamics of Pak-US bilateral ties.
“The resolution reflects an incomplete understanding of Pakistan’s political situation and electoral process. Pakistan is the second-largest parliamentary democracy in the world and the fifth largest overall. “Pakistan is committed to its national interests, adhering to its constitution, human rights, and legal values,” she added.
Mumtaz said that Pakistan had taken note of it. “We believe that the timing and context of this particular resolution does not align well with the positive dynamics of our bilateral ties, and stems from an incomplete understanding of the political situation and electoral process in Pakistan,” she remarked. The spokesperson said that Pakistan was committed to the values of constitutionalism, human rights and rule of law in pursuance of its own national interest.
The Spokesperson said Pakistan believes in constructive dialogue and engagement based on mutual respect and understanding and such resolutions are therefore neither constructive nor objective.
