Talking about the evolving regional rivalry between the U.S. and China, Mr. Khan said that Pakistan thinks it is very unfair for the US or other powers – western power to pressurise countries like us to take sides in a conflict with China. Why should we take sides? We should have good relations with everyone. It is not going to happen if pressure is put on Pakistan to change its relationship or downgrade its relationship with China, it wouldn’t happen, Mr Khan said.
Emphasising the deep relationship with China, Mr. Khan said that Pakistan would never bend under any kind of pressure. Whatever will happen, our relationship between the two countries no matter what pressure is put on us is not going to change, he said.
