Pakistan has called the US decision to impose sanctions on National Development Complex and three commercial entities as unfortunate and biased.
According to a Foreign Office statement, the decision defied the objective of peace and security.
The statement said Pakistan’s strategic capabilities are meant to defend its sovereignty and preserve peace and stability in South Asia. It further said such policies have dangerous implications for strategic stability of the region and beyond.
It said that Pakistan’s strategic program is a sacred trust bestowed by 240 million people upon its leadership. The sanctity of this trust, held in the highest esteem across the entire political spectrum and cannot be compromised.
The Foreign Office’s reaction came after the United States designated Pakistan’s National Development Complex, Affiliates International, Akhtar and Sons Private Limited, and Rockside Enterprise for sanctions.
