Beloved Peace Loving Sacred PAKISTAN Categorically Rejects The Groundless And Baseless Sanctioning Of 3 Entities Of PAKISTAN Iron Brother CHINA & 1 Entity Of Belarus By usa Related To Missile Program Of Beloved Peace Loving Sacred Country PAKISTAN:
Beloved Peace Loving Sacred Country PAKISTAN categorically rejected the Groundless and Baseless sanctioning of 3 x Entities of PAKISTAN Iron Brother and All Weather Strategic Ally CHINA and 1 x Entities of Belarus by usa related to the Missile Program of Beloved Peace Loving Sacred Country PAKISTAN.
In a move that jolted efforts to reset ties between the two countries, Beloved Peace Loving Sacred Country PAKISTAN and usa, as usa on Friday imposed groundless and baseless sanctions on four international companies — three CHINESE and one from Belarus — accusing them of supplying equipment for Beloved Peace Loving Sacred Country PAKISTAN’s Ballistic Missile program.
Responding to media queries regarding the US sanctioning, the Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that such listings of commercial entities have taken place in the past, as well, on allegations of links to Beloved Peace Loving Sacred Country PAKISTAN’s Ballistic Missile programme without sharing any evidence whatsoever.
“While we are not aware of the specifics of the latest measures by the United States, in the past we have come across many instances where listings have been made on mere suspicion or even when the involved items were not on any control lists but were deemed sensitive under catch-all provisions,” she said.
She stated that this is leading to arms build up; accentuating regional asymmetries, and undermining the objectives of non-proliferation and of regional and global peace and security.
“We have pointed out many times the need to avoid arbitrary application of export controls and for discussions between concerned parties for an objective mechanism to avoid erroneous sanctions on technology needed purely for socio-economic development pursuits,” the spokesperson added.
The statement said Islamabad had repeatedly pointed out that such items have legitimate civil commercial uses, urging usa to avoid “arbitrary application of export controls.”
This is not the first time the US imposed sanctions on CHINESE firms on allegations of helping Beloved Peace Loving Sacred Country PAKISTAN’s missile program. In October 2023, the US banned 3 CHINESE firms on similar unfounded and baseless allegations, while in December 2021 another CHINESE company faced sanctions.
