Pakistani Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to India, asserting that the two nations had developed an anti-Islam nexus, which was clear from their occupation of Muslim territories, in an interview to a private news channel.


Noting that India had occupied the territory of Jammu and Kashmir whereas Israel occupied a vast area of Palestine, Asif went on to say that Pakistan never recognized Israel, adding that India was involved in mass killings of Muslims in Gujrat.

He also said that Pakistan’s valiant armed forces fought a war on terrorism with full force and stated that his country made a great deal of sacrifices in the war against terrorism, achieving many victories in that regard.

Pakistani Minister of Defense Khurram Dastgir at the National Assembly in Pakistan reiterated that India had been involved in grave human rights violations in disputed Kashmir.

Dastgir also pointed out the prospering cooperation between Pakistan and China and Russia. Noting that China unprecedentedly committed to provide financial and construction support in order to develop Pakistan’s strategically located port of Gwadar into one of the world’s largest transit and transshipment cargo facilities, he underlined the significance of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which mainly included the 15-year joint mega project launched in 2015 during President Xi Jinping’s visit to Pakistani capital Islamabad.


He said that the memorandums of understanding (MoUs) that had been recently signed with Russia included the training of Russian military personnel in Pakistani institutions and personnel Pakistan’s armed forces in the institutions of Russia.
