US Advises Pakistan on Participation in Regional Groupings
The United States has advised Pakistan to ensure that its alignments with regional groupings comply with international law and respect the sovereignty of other nations. This statement comes as Pakistan hosts the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, including major players like Russia, China, India, and key Central Asian states.
During a press briefing, US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller highlighted the importance of upholding global norms and respecting sovereignty. He also acknowledged Pakistan’s concerns regarding nuclear theft and proliferation in India.
In light of tensions between India and Canada, the US has been engaging with Indian officials at the highest levels to address allegations of assassination attempts on Sikh dissidents in North America. The recent expulsion of diplomats between Canada and India further underscores the seriousness of these allegations.
It is crucial for Pakistan, India, and other nations to cooperate and investigate these accusations to ensure international security. The US is committed to facilitating dialogue and addressing proliferation threats effectively.
