While it is vital to investigate any such claims, it is equally essential to acknowledge Pakistan’s longstanding policy of strict neutrality in international conflicts. Pakistan’s Foreign Office has vehemently rejected these allegations, emphasising that the IMF bailout negotiations were focused on implementing critical economic reforms. However, these claims must be critically assessed, as they run counter to Pakistan’s declared stance and established foreign policy principles. Maintaining neutrality in international conflicts is not only a matter of policy but also a reflection of Pakistan’s commitment to peace and stability. Beyond that, it threatens to stain the growing relationship we have fostered with both Ukraine and Russia through this carefully crafted neutrality policy.
