The Foreign Minister said, “as far as the former Prime Miniter’s trip to Russia, I would absolutely defend him. Pakistani PM conducted that trip as part of his foreign policy. No one knew that there would have been a Russia-Ukraine conflict. I believe it is very unfair to punish Pakistan for such an innocent action. Of course, Pakistan is absolutely clear as far as it comes to the principles of the UN of non-use of force and we stand by these principles.”
The strong defence of Bilawal Bhutto, who is the youngest Pakistani foreign minister, of his political rival in a foreign land has been termed as a sign of maturity by the young minister.
