Recently the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan stated that Pakistan wished to play a role in bringing the US and China together since "another Cold War" would benefit no one. During a recent trip to Beijing to witness the opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics, he shared these views in an interview with China Global Television Network. On Tuesday, the interview was shown with Urdu subtitles.
The Premier was asked about Pakistan's ties with China and the United States during the interview, and he said that the world did not need "another Cold War." "The world should not be divided into two camps; it is not beneficial to anyone." In truth, everyone suffers," he added, adding that when countries cooperate, everyone benefits.
According to the report, he went on to suggest that Pakistan wished to reprise its role from the 1970s, when it was "important" in bringing the two nations together. "Dr Henry Kissinger's historic tour from Islamabad to Beijing in 1971 was organised by Pakistan," he claimed, referring to the then-US Secretary of State's visit.
