Islamabad: We welcome any decision aimed at Iran’s economic development.
Tahir Andarabi also added in his weekly press conference in Islamabad today (Friday): At the same time, we do not take a position on the US actions regarding sanctions, and we consider it an independent decision of the country.
Regarding India’s exemption from US sanctions, he also said: Of course, Pakistan warns India that it should not use the sanctions exemption for negative actions in the region or support terrorist forces.
In response to the 10-year defense agreement between the US and India, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman added: Islamabad is reviewing this development, and we will announce our position on the consequences of this agreement on peace and stability in South Asia.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsett previously announced that Washington and New Delhi are enhancing coordination, information exchange, and technological cooperation, and that the US has signed a 10-year defense agreement with India.
