Misleading, Pakistan criticizes the US India joint statement as baseless, Biden | Pakistan | United States
According to Reuters on June 23, following a meeting between US President Biden and Indian Prime Minister Modi at the White House and calling on Pakistan to ensure that its territory is not used as a base for militants to launch attacks, Pakistan criticized the United States and India on June 23.
The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the US India joint statement is "baseless, one-sided, and misleading", and stated that the statement's mention of Islamabad's actions "goes against diplomatic norms.".
The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that it was surprised by the joint statement and stated that Pakistan had previously maintained "close counter-terrorism cooperation" with the United States.
According to the report, the US India joint statement stated, "They strongly condemn cross-border terrorism and the use of terrorist agents, and call on Pakistan to take immediate action to ensure that the territories it controls are not used to launch terrorist attacks."
The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that India unjustly accuses Islamabad of being involved in extremism, in order to divert attention from the outside world towards the situation in Kashmir and the unfair treatment of ethnic minorities in India.
