ISLAMABAD, OCT 25 (DNA) – Foreign minister Khawaja Asif has said on Wednesday that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s government is not dependent on support of the United States to lead Pakistan like governments of the past.

Asif addressed a session of National Assembly today and in his speech, the minister said that the governments of the past used to seek surity of their power and government from the United States however, it is not like that with the government of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.

The government of PML-N was given the power by some 200 million people of Pakistan.

Asif said that Pakistan entered a massive compromise in the aftermath of tragic 9/11 attacks and is bearing brunt of that till date however, there would be no compromise over national security of Pakistan anymore.

Pakistan would not budge against United States demands like it has been the practice in the past, the minister added.

Khawaja Asif termed his meeting with United States Secretary of the State Tillerson on Tuesday a pleasant sitting. It was for the first time that heads of all state institutions convened a collective meeting with a US authority in Islamabad under one roof, Asif said.
