Washington : \u201cThe shared goal for Pakistan, United States and all leading nations of the world is to have peace and security in the region,\u201d said Pakistan\u2019s Ambassador to the United States.
\u201cOn one hand, we have to take steps to curb tendencies that would hurt international peace and security and on the other, to promote the global commons that make this life better for the majority of the people,\u201d he added.
\u201cWhen we talk about Global South, the priority number one should be elimination of poverty, eradication of poverty. You have to reduce poverty to zero and that’s a goal that we should pursue,\u201d he said.
Ambassador Masood Khan made these remarks while talking to Tim Horgan of World Affairs Council of New Hampshire during \u2018Global in the Granite State\u2019 Podcast which is an engaging and informative show to provide the audience with a deeper understanding of important international issues.
Underscoring that peace and security was a holistic subject, the Ambassador emphasized the need for investment in sustainable development.
\u201cWe have to face the challenge of climate change. Climate Change has become existential threat for the entire globe,\u201d he said.
\u201cWe should also have a responsible and responsive international financial system\u201d to enable countries walk out of the debt trap and to make the economies more resilient and self-sufficient, he added.
Talking about Pak-US relations especially after post-withdrawal period, the Ambassador highlighted that the two countries have successfully recalibrated their relationship around two clusters i.e. security and economic partnership.
\u201cWhen we talk about Pak-US economic partnership, which is all encompassing, we also include in it climate change and issues like healthcare, education, people to people contacts, so that we could give strong sinews to this relationship,\u201d he said.
Noting that US was overly aligned with India which was negation of traditional policy of maintaining strategic balance in the relationship with South Asian countries, the Ambassador opined that restoration of equilibrium would contribute to peace and security of the region. He, however, noted that Pakistan had its own independent space vis-\u00e0-vis United States and \u201cwe want to use up that space in the economic and defence realms.\u201d
On US-China relations, the Ambassador observed that the \u201cUnited States leadership has been managing the relationship with great care and wisdom.\u201d He also noted that the recent visits have set the ground for collaborative model, not a confrontational model.
He opined that continuing rapprochement between United States and China would be in the interest of the two country and the globe.
The Ambassador said that Pakistan could act as an economic bridge between China and the United States.
He said that while the US was decoupling or de-risking, it could relocate some of its industries to Pakistan. The United States could also manufacture in Pakistan and export its products and services to China.
On Afghanistan, the Ambassador reiterated the call for Afghan Government to crackdown on organizations like TTP. “We want the interim Afghan government to crack down on these outfits, particularly the TTP, to delegitimize and neutralize them,” he urged. He emphasized that terrorism imperils not just Pakistan and Afghanistan, but also the United States and its allies in the region.
On Kashmir, the Ambassador reiterated Pakistan wanted that the people of the entire state of Jammu & Kashmir should be given a choice to determine their own future thought the ballot box and no through bullets.
About India\u2019s progress, Masood Khan observed that their progress \u201cwould become much more respectable if they have good relations with their neighbors, including Pakistan and if they also invest in economic connectivity.\u201d
\u201cIndia\u2019s preference should be neighborhood first and it should be peaceful neighborhood,\u201d said the Ambassador.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
