[DAWN] The military on Thursday warned the US against ’unilateral action’, saying that despite its desire for cooperation on Afghanistan, there could be no compromise on national respect and illusory sovereignty.
"The armed forces are working with friends and want to continue doing so, but there can be no compromise on our national honour. We do not want a conflict with our friends, but will ensure the security of Pakistain," Military spokesperson Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor told a media briefing, recalling that the country was being threatened with "unilateral action" by the US.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) chief spoke in both English and Urdu, in what appeared to be an effort to convey the institutional sentiment to an international audience. |
