If neither MOFA nor PM Office are aware in what capacity , the Interior Minister is in USA, Who else is the responsible of this visit?<\/p>\n<p>It speaks a lot that Interior Minister or Ministry did not bother to inform their Foreign Office about the visit.<\/p>\n<p>Spokesperson foreign office of Pakistan replied to such a question that Ambassador of Pakistan to USA was invited to the oath-taking ceremony and he only represented Pakistan in the event. Foreign Office has not processed the visit of Interior Minister.<\/p>\n<p>It clearly means that no one else was invited , neither PM, President nor Mohsin and Bilawal. Interior Minister was there in his personal capacity.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41112\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Muhsin-Naqvi-USA-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Muhsin-Naqvi-USA-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Muhsin-Naqvi-USA-1-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The question in the briefing of Spokesperson was ;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Interior Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, was there. We saw footages of him, in what capacity was he in the US? Because the Ambassador was accompanying him. And then he attended an event as well, interestingly, which spoke about new Federal State of China, which essentially goes beyond the preview of the current Chinese regime, does Pakistan officially endorse that take of a new federal state of China while standing in the US from the Interior Minister?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The answer by the Spokesperson was ;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Government of Pakistan was officially represented by our Ambassador, as in the past oath taking ceremonies. That&#8217;s the first point. Secondly, about the Honorable Minister of Interior going to Washington. Because this has not been processed through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I will refer you to the Spokesman at the Ministry of Interior. They can provide you more details&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pakistan | Interior Minister | Visit | Washington USA | Attends President Trump&#039;s Inauguration\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ESsAG-oMbOU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And about this particular thing you mentioned about the <strong>federal state of China.<\/strong> I don&#8217;t have facts, but I can try to check. But as far as Pakistan is concerned, it remains a core principle of our foreign policy to support One China. There&#8217;s One China, and this principle enjoys unwavering support of Pakistan. There is no question of any ambiguity about it. It&#8217;s a very clear and emphatic position, <strong>Spokesperson replied.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Second question ;<\/strong> Interior Minister contacted you and you briefed him as he was going on an important event and the meetings he is having, how much you are onboard?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spokesperson:<\/strong> Number one, the ministers travel abroad with the permission of the Prime Minister. This is his prerogative. The meetings he is having were not planned by our Ministry, so for details, I will again refer you to Ministry of Interior.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"zABOgsHDDc\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/controversy-on-pakistani-ministers-participation-in-anti-china-organization-in-usa-meeting-with-pro-taiwan-congressmen-by-tazeen-akhtar\/\">Controversy on Pakistani Minister&#8217;s Participation in Anti-China Organization in USA &#8211; Meeting with Pro Taiwan Congressmen &#8211; by &#8211; Tazeen Akhtar<\/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;Controversy on Pakistani Minister&#8217;s Participation in Anti-China Organization in USA &#8211; Meeting with Pro Taiwan Congressmen &#8211; by &#8211; Tazeen Akhtar&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/controversy-on-pakistani-ministers-participation-in-anti-china-organization-in-usa-meeting-with-pro-taiwan-congressmen-by-tazeen-akhtar\/embed\/#?secret=JEULagwljD#?secret=zABOgsHDDc\" data-secret=\"zABOgsHDDc\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson did not comment on weather a Pakistani minister should attend the event of an organization that presents itself as The Gov of China in Exile?<\/p>\n<p>It is a matter of concern\u00a0 that the visit\u00a0 has no official procedure followed nor any rules and regulations observed.
