Imran says Washington prefers India when it comes to ‘strategic partnership’
Taking a dig at the U.S., Prime Minister Imran Khan has said Washington sees Pakistan “useful” only for clearing the “mess” it has left behind in Afghanistan after 20 years of fighting and prefers India when it comes to forming a “strategic partnership”. Afghanistan has seen an uptick in violence by the Taliban after U.S. President Joe Biden’s announcement of the withdrawal of American and NATO troops by August 31. “Pakistan is just considered only to be useful in the context of somehow settling this mess which has been left behind after 20 years of trying to find a military solution when there was not one,” Mr. Khan told foreign journalists at his home here on Wednesday.More Related News
