A former Pakistani ambassador has stated that US sanctions will have little to no impact on Pakistan’s economy or policies. This statement comes in the wake of recent sanctions imposed by the US on certain Pakistani individuals and entities accused of being involved in unlawful activities.
According to the former envoy, Pakistan has historically managed to withstand economic sanctions and possesses the resilience to mitigate their effects. He emphasized that Pakistan is focused on strengthening its economy and pursuing independent policies.
He further explained that such sanctions are often symbolic in nature, intended to send a message to the international community, but their practical effects remain limited.
This statement provides reassurance to Pakistani stakeholders striving to improve the national economy and maintain sovereignty despite external pressures. It underscores the country’s determination to navigate global challenges while safeguarding its interests.
