Pakistan has termed the US decision to impose sanctions on NDC and three commercial entities as “unfortunate and biased” said it defied the objective of peace and security.
“Pakistan considers the US decision to impose sanctions on NDC and three commercial entities as unfortunate and biased,” according to a Foreign Office statement issued on late Wednesday night.
The Foreign Office’s reaction came after the United States designated Pakistan’s National Development Complex (NDC), Affiliates International, Akhtar and Sons Private Limited, and Rockside Enterprise for sanctions pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13382.
“Pakistan’s strategic capabilities are meant to defend its sovereignty and preserve peace and stability in South Asia. The latest installment of sanctions defies the objective of peace and security by aiming to accentuate military asymmetries. Such policies have dangerous implications for strategic stability of our region and beyond,” the Foreign Office statement said.
