Indian attempts to isolate Pakistan at international level failed: Tehmina Janjua

ISLAMABAD: Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua on Tuesday said India’s all attempts to isolate Pakistan at the international level had failed, ARY News reported.

“Pakistan is an important country of the world and it has always played a constructive role for peace and development in the region,” Tehmina Janjua said while talking with media persons in Islamabad.

She said Pakistan was facilitating peace process in Afghanistan, which would continue.

The foreign secretary, who has just retired from service after serving in Ministry of Foreign Affairs for thirty-five years, said there were many detractors of Pakistan; however, Pakistan always emerged as successful vis a vis challenges it had to confront.

To a question about Prime Minister Imran Khan’s upcoming visit to Iran, Tehmina Janjua said it was an important visit taking place in the context of regional outreach.

To another query, Foreign Secretary-designate Sohail Mahmood said peaceful neighbourhood remained one of the central ideas of Pakistan’s foreign policy.

He said India had to avoid blame game and move to resolve Kashmir dispute to establish durable peace in the region.

He also said Tehmina Janjua had a splendid career at the ministry.
