Pakistan announces it will not participate in this week's US-led Summit for Democracy, a move seen in part as an effort by the economic and political crisis-hit South Asian nation to assuage longtime ally China, which was not invited
Pakistan has announced it will not participate in this week's US-led Summit for Democracy, a move seen in part as an effort by the economic and political crisis-hit South Asian nation to assuage longtime ally China, which was not invited.
Pakistan did not attend the 2021 summit amid growing tension between the government of then-prime minister Imran Khan and the US administration of President Joe Biden. Since then, Khan has alleged that the vote that removed him was a US-organised plot, a charge Washington and Khan's successor Shehbaz Sharif have denied.In Tuesday's statement, the Foreign Ministry under Sharif said Pakistan values its friendship with the United States.
These include enforced disappearances, curtailments on peaceful assembly, and tightening controls on freedom of speech. Amnesty International said, "blasphemy allegations continued to spark violence against both religious minorities and Muslims" in 2022. China has also deposited much-needed millions into Pakistan's central bank to boost its fast-declining foreign exchange reserves to save Pakistan from a default amid the country's worst-ever economic crisis.Talks with the International Monetary Fund for a bailout have been on hold since last year.
