The US State Department has reiterated its stance of not supporting any political party in Pakistan. In response to a question about a meeting between the US Ambassador and the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of Pakistan, Matthew Miller, spokesperson of the State Department, clarified that the US supports economic reforms for the stability of Pakistan, but does not favor any particular political party.
The US Ambassador, Donald Blome, recently met with CEC Sikandar Sultan Raja in Islamabad to discuss matters related to fair and transparent elections. During the meeting, Ambassador Blome assured the CEC of the US’s commitment to assisting Pakistan in conducting free and fair elections in accordance with the country’s constitution and laws.
A statement released by the US Embassy emphasized that the right to choose Pakistan’s future leaders belongs to the people of the country. It further stated that the US will continue to work with the elected representatives of Pakistan to strengthen and expand bilateral relations.
The US government is dedicated to upholding democratic principles and supporting democratic processes in Pakistan. It does not interfere or align itself with any specific political party, in order to maintain a neutral and impartial position. The focus of the US’s involvement in Pakistan is on promoting economic stability and fostering positive diplomatic relations.
As Pakistan prepares for its upcoming general elections, it is important for all political parties and candidates to understand that the US will not intervene or endorse any particular party. The decision of choosing the next leaders of Pakistan rests solely with its citizens, and the US will respect and support the outcome of a democratic electoral process.
The US government stands ready to assist Pakistan in any way possible to ensure that the elections are conducted with integrity and transparency. By promoting democratic values and providing technical support, the US aims to contribute to the establishment of a strong and democratic Pakistan.
It is crucial for the international community to respect the sovereignty of Pakistan and refrain from interfering in its internal affairs. The US’s commitment to non-interference in Pakistani politics is a testament to its respect for Pakistan’s independence and democratic processes.
Ultimately, the responsibility of shaping Pakistan’s future lies in the hands of its citizens and their elected representatives. The US will continue to support Pakistan in its journey towards a prosperous and democratic nation.
