Foreign minister chides America for policy shaped by 'frustrated' generals

[DAWN] A day after politicians slammed US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
's new South Asia policy,

...because that will assuredly change his mind...

Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif assured the Senate that their concerns had been heard and Pakistain's foreign policy would be devised keeping their guidelines in mind.

Beginning his speech with an acknowledgement of Trump's assertion that "things have started getting better" in US-Pakistain relations, and thanking the American president for the endorsement, Asif reiterated that Pakistain wishes for a regional solution to the Afghan problem.

"The entire region has a role to play in the Afghan process, and Pakistain wishes for a regional solution to the security challenges faced by the country," he asserted.

"We will use the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) platform to Pakistain's benefit, and we have been very active there," he assured.

Agreeing to a politician's assertion that Pakistain put its own interests first, he assured the senators that any foreign policy will prioritise Pakistain's needs of the hour.

Rubbishing PPP Senator Farhatullah Babar's assertion that he had "unwittingly" criticised American generals for their failures in Afghanistan, Asif stated unequivocally that he firmly believes in the statement he made: that the new US policy is ineffective because it was influenced by generals who have been frustrated in the Afghan war.
