He said instead of Pakistan, any question regarding nuclear safety should be directed to our neighbor India, who very recently accidentally fired a missile into Pakistani territory.
Despite Biden’s remarks about Pakistan’s nuclear program, “I don’t believe it negatively impacts the relations between Pakistan and the US. We will continue on the positive trajectory of engagements we are having so far,” he added.
Earlier in his presser, Bilawal expressed solidarity with flood victims and said that several districts across the province of Sindh were still inundated.
He said “as the foreign minister, I am trying to not only collect aid from the world for them but also prepare for the obstacle upcoming of reconstruction and rehabilitation.”
