ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has strongly condemned the US-led drone strike in North Waziristan tribal region which killed at least four people on Sunday.

According to a statement issued by Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs  on Monday such unilateral attacks are in contravention of international law and counter-productive to the stability of this country. The Government maintained its position that drone strikes violate its territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Such attacks also set dangerous precedents in the inter-state relations, added the Foreign Office's statement.

The Government of Pakistan calls upon the US Government to stop such attacks based on mutual respect and established international norms.
