Islamabad: The United States should refrain from fanning instability in South Asia, Advisor to the Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said while speaking to BBC Urdu
His statement follows international media reports which claim the US is ready to help Pakistan join the Nuclear Suppliers Group if it accepts certain restrictions on its nuclear programme.
Additionally, a US media report last Thursday claimed that American special operations analysts just days before the October 3 US air attack on a Doctors Without Borders (MSF) hospital in Kunduz were gathering intelligence on the facility because they believed it was being used by a Pakistani operative to coordinate Taleban activity.
Aziz rejected the notion that allegations regarding the Pakistani operative's presence in the hospital would impact talks with the super power. He said Pakistan had already denied allegations implicating a Pakistani operative in Kunduz, adding that "the world knows Pakistan is committed to peace and prosperity in Afghanistan".
