    All is well; Ahsan Iqbal defends China-Pak relations

    Federal Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal on Wednesday disregarded reports of souring relations between China and Pakistan, accusing a “political party” of spreading propaganda.

    Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Iqbal said that a smear campaign was underway to sabotage Pakistan’s national interests.

    “While differences exist between the government and opposition, state institutions should not be targeted. Weakening these institutions jeopardises the stability of the state,” said the Federal Minister saying that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) wouldn’t be allowed to spread misinformation.

    “Articles are written and published worldwide, but no country or state formulates policy based on them. Policy decisions are made through negotiations between governments,” he stressed.

    Iqbal also quoted the Chinese President as saying that “they (China) want to deepen strategic relations”.

    He urged the PTI to quit its anti-state narrative and hold dialogues with the government on political issues instead of damaging the country.
