Amid a global power rivalry between the United States and China, Pakistan on Thursday rejected speculations it had joined ‘the China bloc’.
“I would like to refute any such speculation that Pakistan has joined one bloc or the other. Pakistan has a consistent policy that we do not believe in bloc politics,” Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch told a weekly press briefing here.
She said Pakistan had an “All Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership” with China. She noted that it was a relationship that had grown from strength to strength over the last several decades and both countries were committed to this relationship.
Similarly, she said, Pakistan had excellent relations with many countries around the world, in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Europe and Africa.
