The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday categorically rejected certain false insinuations attributed to purported official sources related to the ongoing conflict in the region and Pakistan’s efforts to promote peace and dialogue as ‘baseless and a figment of imagination’.

Responding to media queries regarding reports on developments in the ongoing conflict in the region, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi, in a press statement, said that they had noted several reports in the media, including on social media, citing so-called official government sources regarding the ongoing conflict in the region and Pakistan’s efforts to promote peace and dialogue.

“Any attribution to official sources in this regard is incorrect. It is a matter of concern that the briefing held on Friday at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been misrepresented, with references to issues that were neither discussed nor alluded to,” it was asserted.

At a time of heightened regional sensitivity, the spokesperson said, diplomacy required both discretion and responsibility, urging all media platforms to exercise due diligence, avoid speculation, and rely exclusively on officially issued statements and media readouts for accurate and timely information.
