National Security Advisor Moeed Yusuf has said that Pakistan will not tolerate that the Afghan soil will be used against it, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.

The security advisor was addressing a function in London. He held that peace in the region was linked to the peace in Afghanistan. But in a stern tone, he added that Pakistan would never endure if Afghanistan turf would be used against it.

While talking about Prime Minister Imran Khan’s recent visit to Russia at the time of the Ukraine war, Mr Yusuf reiterated that Pakistan’s foreign policy is independent.

“One should not assume that Pakistan stands alone (in the comity of nations) on the basis of (PM’s) Russian tour,” he explained. 

He said during the UN resolution, Pakistan acted in accordance with its policies.

He said that Pakistan’s security policy was transparent and independent and boasted that both houses of Parliament endorsed it.

On relations with the United Kingdom, Mr Yusuf said Pakistan enjoyed a good relationship with the UK and there was no problem with it. 

The NSA said it would be wrong to assume that everything would become okay soon after the ascendance of the Taliban to the throne.
