PM Imran was politicizing the relations with USA and EU only to exploit the sentiments of the public to gain some benefit on the no confidence motion moved by the opposition. PM was continuously alleging with no solid evidence that USA is behind the no confidence move and Pakistani opposition is hands in glove with USA. But the address of Army Chief of Pakistan has cleared the things.<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0648\u0632\u06cc\u0631 \u0627\u0639\u0638\u0645 \u0631\u0648\u0633 \u06a9\u06d2 \u062f\u0648\u0631\u06d2 \u067e\u0631 - \u0641\u0648\u062c \u06a9\u0627 \u06cc\u0648\u06a9\u0631\u06cc\u0646 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0633\u0627\u062a\u06be  \u0627\u0638\u06c1\u0627\u0631 \u06cc\u06a9\u062c\u06c1\u062a\u06cc\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x_Pgw2JNG0c?start=350&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>I noted on 22 Feb 2022 that Military is not on board with Prime Minister on his policy on Russia visit.

Pakistan has consistently called for an immediate ceasefire and cessation of hostilities. We support immediate dialogue between all sides to find a lasting solution to the conflict.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<h4><em><strong>He said :<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<h4><em><strong>&#8220;Pakistan had enjoyed excellent defence and economic relationships with Ukraine since its independence but relations with Russia were &#8220;cold&#8221; for a long time because of numerous reasons. However, some positive developments in this regard had taken place recently.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>(These points were raised by this scribe in the article cited above)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4>The Chief further noted that Pakistan had sent humanitarian assistance to Ukraine via Pakistan Air Force (PAF) planes and would continue to do. Continuation or expansion of the conflict would not serve the interests of any side, least of all the developing countries which would continue to face socio-economic costs of the conflict.<\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"62480ae572ea3\">This is in total contrast what the Prime Minister of Pakistan was following in the month of Feb from his Moscow visit till today exploiting with no justification that the no confidence is result of his visit to Moscow. In his address to the nation, He said that Army Chief was taken into confidence before Moscow visit and he also suggested that PM should visit Russia. Now it has been cleared that the PM was involving the Chief into his (PM) own wrong policies.<\/h4>\n<h4>Regarding relations with USA, General Qamar Javed Bajwa made it clear that Pakistan has long term strategic relation ship with USA. Pakistan seeks to broaden and expand relations with US.<\/h4>\n<h4>He said that European Union, the United Kingdom, and Japan were also important for Pakistan&#8217;s progress.<\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"OEfTQZVsFg\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/a-country-is-annoyed-at-my-russia-ukraine-policy-army-chief-suggested-me-to-visit-moscow-imran\/\">A Country is Annoyed at my Russia-Ukraine Policy-Army Chief Suggested me to Visit Moscow-Imran<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;A Country is Annoyed at my Russia-Ukraine Policy-Army Chief Suggested me to Visit Moscow-Imran&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/a-country-is-annoyed-at-my-russia-ukraine-policy-army-chief-suggested-me-to-visit-moscow-imran\/embed\/#?secret=OEfTQZVsFg\" data-secret=\"OEfTQZVsFg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tazeen Akhtar Gen Qamar Bajwa Chief of Army Staff has said that Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine is a great tragedy and it must be &#8220;stopped immediately&#8221;.
