Islamabad : Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that Pakistan would not allow any country to take action inside its territory.
The American CIA chief said this week that the U.S can strike Pakistani territory if it receives information about the presence of al-Qaeda leaders there.
“We cannot allow any other country to take action within our territory. This is the matter of our sovereignty and we cannot compromise on it,” Qureshi said in a private television interview.
He said the features of new government’s policy vis a vis counter terrorism are very clear.
Referring to around 2,000-km Pak-Afghan border, he said both may face some difficulties in maintaining check on irregular border crossers.
“The law enforcers from both the sides remain in constant contact with each other and share intelligence,” he said.
“Pakistan is firmly committed that it will take action if there is actionable information with its law enforcing and intelligence agencies,” he said adding but this action would be taken by the country’s law enforcing agencies.
