According to sources, the policy includes gradually limiting diplomatic relations with US, reducing mutual cooperation on terrorism-related issues and non- cooperation in US strategy for Afghanistan.
Pakistan is ready with a tough diplomatic policy if the US imposes any sanctions on it or lowers Islamabad’s major non-NATO ally status over failure to crack down on militants (http://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-lists-pakistan-among-countries-that-provide-safe-haven-to-terrorists/story-2qxoP14OZMhHmyCGdTQcAJ.html), according to a media report.
Pakistan’s new strategy comes after US President Donald Trump, while unveiling his new policy for South Asia and Afghanistan, criticised Pakistan for providing safe havens to militants.
A day after Trump’s announcement, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson suggested that US could downgrade Islamabad’s status as a major non-NATO ally if it does not crack down on militants.
The Express Tribune reported that the Pakistan government has prepared a three-option ‘toughest diplomatic policy’.
According to official sources, the policy includes gradually limiting diplomatic relations with the US, reducing mutual cooperation on terrorism-related issues and non- cooperation in US strategy for Afghanistan.
“The last option may include a ban on using Pakistani land for NATO supplies to Afghanistan,” according to the newspaper.
