Pakistan counting on Europe to change US’ mindset: defence minister


BRUSSELS: Defence Minister Khurram Dastagir has said Pakistan, for the time being, is no longer receiving American support for its army and anti-terrorist operations. Talking to a Belgian news channel VRT News, he said, “Europe must help in re-establishing our relationship with the US.”The defence minister said the Americans wanted to pin the blame for their military failure in Afghanistan on Pakistan. “As long as there is no peace in Afghanistan, the situation will remain troubled in Pakistan.”He went on to say that Islamabad is disappointed with Washington’s change of policy. “But China and Europe did not let us fall in the most difficult moments, and today they are reaping the benefits. China is helping us in infrastructure works, and both China and the European Union can supply us with consumer goods.”
