Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has revealed that the US National Security Advisor called his Pakistani counterpart ahead of a planned visit by Prime Minister Imran Khan to Russia in February and told him “don’t go” to Moscow.
Speaking to the National Assembly, Qureshi said he wanted to record that the US National Security Advisor called the NSA Pakistani when the vote of no confidence in Khan’s impeachment was on the agenda. He categorically requested us not to do it” and continued with the tour through Russia.
“Tell me, where does a sovereign state discourage a bilateral visit in this way? When does one country meddle in the bilateral affairs of another, and what self-respecting sovereign nation would accept that?
Regardless, he said that the visit to Moscow had nothing to do with the initially planned war in Ukraine.
Furthermore, he said, “Discussions went on for two months, the date came, and PM decided to leave; it’s registered.
