Pakistan willing to help US, China iron out their differences: PM Shehbaz

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Tuesday that the world cannot afford another cold war and Pakistan was willing to help the United States and China iron out their differences if the two global powers wanted Pakistan to play a diplomatic role between them.

While giving a special interview to the international organization, the Prime Minister said that Pakistan has traditionally maintained good relations with China and America and if Beijing and Washington want, Pakistan will be happy to play a positive role to end their differences as we did in the past.

He said that Pakistan believes in cooperation instead of conflict, this should be the main driving force of international relations. The world cannot afford another era of Cold War or bloc politics. “I believe that the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic and the major crisis of Ukraine s war with Russia will have serious consequences on the global economy,” he said and added developing countries like Pakistan are already facing global impacts for socio-economic well-being and we do not want to add to the challenges posed by global antagonism.
