Remarks by IEA-MoFA Spokesperson Regarding Recent Developments in Pakistan

The tensions between the government and political opposition supporters in Pakistan have reached an alarming level that could adversely impact the entire region.
The optimal approach to address the legitimate demands of the people is through negotiations and understanding. The recent events have proven that denying negotiations further complicates matters.
We are closely monitoring the situation in Pakistan and hope that the Pakistani government and influential entities will deal reasonably and realistically with the growing discontent.
