Munter called to Foreign Office to lodge protest
ISLAMABAD: On the instructions from Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir on Saturday called in US Ambassador Cameron Munter to lodge a strong protest on the unprovoked NATO/ISAF attack on Pakistan border posts in the Mohmand Agency. The foreign secretary conveyed to the US ambassador that the unprovoked attack by NATO/ISAF aircraft, in which 24 Pakistani troops lost their lives, had deeply incensed the government and the people of Pakistan, according to a press statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “The president, the prime minister and the Government of Pakistan strongly condemn the attacks which were totally unacceptable, constituted a grave infringement of Pakistan’s sovereignty, were violative of international law and a serious transgression of the oft conveyed red lines and could have serious repercussions on Pakistan-US/NATO/ISAF cooperation,” it said. app
