The Foreign Office (FO) on Thursday strongly condemned remarks made by Indian Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar regarding Pakistan’s foreign policy, terming them undiplomatic and “megaphone theatrics”. According to Indian media reports on Wednesday, Jaishankar had said that New Delhi would not position itself as a “broker state” in global geopolitics. The statement came in response to opposition concerns over Pakistan’s role in facilitating indirect talks between the United States and Iran amid the ongoing Middle East conflict. Responding to a question about the remarks during his weekly press briefing today, FO spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said such remarks reflected a “deep sense of frustration”. “Such undiplomatic rhetoric betrays the essence of frustration.

The spokesperson added that Pakistan did not subscribe to what he described as “megaphone theatrics”. “Our approach is anchored in restraint and decorum, not in rhetorical excesses,” he said. ------------ More to follow.
