Coop with US not based on any aid consideration

Pakistan's permanent representative to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi says Islamabad's cooperation with Washington is not based on any aid consideration, but on our national interests and principles.

In response to media questions in the United Nation about US envoy Nikki Haley's comments at an earlier news conference where she repeated President Donald Trump's allegations, Maleeha Lodhi said that Pakistan has contributed and sacrificed the most in fighting international terrorism.

She said that Pakistan's security forces have carried out the largest counter terrorism operation anywhere in the world.

The Ambassador said the US spokespersons should not shift the blame for their own mistakes and failures onto others.
