PM Shehbaz Sharif slams PTI for politicising Bilawal’s India visit

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday strongly criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for its efforts to create controversy surrounding the visit of Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto to India.

Reacting strongly to PTI leadership’s attempt to create controversy over Pakistan’s participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Council of Foreign Ministers meeting in Goa, India, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that it was deeply troubling how the PTI tried to generate a controversy around Pakistan’s participation.

“It shouldn’t be surprising though as Imran Niazi has had no qualms about imperiling the country’s vital foreign policy interests in the past too. This is what they did when they were in power. For the PTI, everything including the conduct of interstate relations is a plaything,” he said in a tweet.

FM Bilawal Bhutto visited Goa to participate in Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) summit.

Addressing the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) on Friday, FM Bilawal Bhutto urge member nations to refrain from using terrorism as a diplomatic tool.

Addressing the SCO summit, FM Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to multilateralism for maintaining international peace and harmony. “Pakistan remains committed to multilateralism and continues to play a leading role at all international forums.”
