Pakistan: PM Imran says Pakistan does not want to take sides in US-China 'cold war'

ISLAMABAD, 10 December 2021, (TON): Prime Minister Imran Khan said that Pakistan does not want to take any sides in the US-China ‘cold war’ but instead wants to reduce the growing tensions between the two.

Addressing the Islamabad Conclave 2021, which was themed ‘A Peaceful and Prosperous South Asia’, PM Imran stated that deteriorating US-China relations, which are heading towards a cold war-like situation, is something Pakistan needs to stop.

“We should not be in any bloc,” he maintained, recalling the previous Cold War, where joining a bloc was not beneficial for Pakistan.

The premier’s remarks come a day after Islamabad decided to skip the summit on democracy being convened by US President Joe Biden on December 9 and 10.
