ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan stated that if Pakistanis are expelled from the United States, Pakistan will provide them with full assistance.
The spokesperson further mentioned that the U.S. had suspended aid programs for 90 days to review their effectiveness, but expressed hope that these aid programs would resume soon. He also clarified that the visit of a U.S. delegation to Pakistan is not being processed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as it is part of regular visits by investors and the business community.

Criticizing the Trump administration’s plan for the transfer of Gaza residents to Jordan or Egypt, the spokesperson described the plan as unjust.

The spokesperson also condemned India’s human rights violations in occupied Kashmir and stated that murders in various countries are part of India’s campaign to sponsor international terrorism. Pakistan condemns all forms of terrorism.
