WASHINGTON, –Ned Price, a spokesman for the US State Department, said there is no truth to Imran Khan’s claims that the US was involved in the downfall of his government.
The claims made have no basis in fact. To us, the peaceful preservation of constitutional and democratic ideals, as well as the protection of human rights, is very important.
US State Department spokeswoman Ned Price said at a press conference that the US does not promote one political party over another in Pakistan or anywhere else in the globe. We are committed to greater ideas, such as the rule of law and equal justice under the law.
He said that the connection between the United States and Pakistan has been critical for over 75 years. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Pakistan’s government to advance Pakistan’s and the region’s peace and development. In that spirit, we congratulate Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on his election by the Pakistani Parliament and look forward to working with him and his government.
