Chairman of Pakistan’s Senate Defence Committee Mushahid Hussain Sayed said that the South Asian nation does not take the Collective West’s information line about “aggressive intentions of Russia and China” to heart, realising that Moscow and Beijing have legitimate concerns about their own security.
According to Mushahid Hussain Sayed, Pakistan, when it starts processes to improve relations with Beijing and Moscow, indirectly starts feeling pressure from the Collective West. At the same time, the parliamentarian noted that Islamabad “disapproves” of the Western community’s calls to censure China and Russia.
“We see some Western countries, especially the US, talking about a ‘new Cold War’. They talk about countering Russia in Europe because of the Ukraine issue, about containing China in Asia. And we reject this talk of a ‘new Cold War’ because we feel that neither China nor Russia has any aggressive intentions, but legitimate security concerns,” the senator told RIA Novosti.
The chairman of Pakistan’s Senate Defence Committee stressed that most of the Collective West countries “have double standards on the problems they claim Russia or China has.”
“They also like to exploit the issue of human rights, they like to exploit the issue of democracy. We are not satisfied with that. <…> That’s why on Ukraine we have taken a neutral position, just like India and China. We do not support any resolutions against Russia, we abstained from it,” Mushahid Hussain Sayed summarised.
We will remind, earlier the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that China and Russia are paving the way for the voice of the world majority in the UN Security Council.
