PNN – Pakistan, expressing regret over the annual report of the US Department of State on terrorism, described its contents as contradictory and considered Washington’s claims against Islamabad to be an inversion of facts.
According to Pakistan News Network, in his weekly press conference in Islamabad, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan expressed his regret over the neglect of this country’s role in the fight against terrorism and blocking the financing of terrorist elements.
Mumtaz Zahra said: Islamabad is fully aware of its responsibilities as an independent country and rejects the claim made in the American report about terrorism.
He emphasized: In the American report, there is no mention of Pakistan’s role in the collapse of global terrorism networks, while more than 80,000 Pakistani security forces and civilians lost their lives in the fight against terrorism, and we suffered hundreds of billions of dollars in damages.
