Ahead of Sunday's no-trust motion against him, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said a "powerful country", which is supporting India, is angry with Pakistan because of his recent visit to Russia
Addressing the Islamabad Security Dialogue, Khan emphasised that an independent foreign policy was crucial for the country, and said the reason why Pakistan could not touch its peak potential was its dependency syndrome on other powerful nations. "A county without an independent foreign policy remains unable to secure the interests of its people," he said. During his speech, Khan also praised India for its independent foreign policy that was centred around
its people. "They protect their independent foreign policy,” the Dawn newspaper quoted him as saying.
Khan said it was being said that Pakistan could not upset the US, but India due to its independent foreign policy was buying oil from Russia. "The US says it cannot say anything to India due to its independent foreign policy," Imran said, adding that despite being a US ally, India was fostering ties with Russia. He said as per the US, India was a sovereign state, so "what are we then?” he asked. Khan said taking independent decisions while keeping high the interests of a nation was extremely important rather than submitting to the will of other countries in exchange for foreign aid.
