Talking about his stance on diplomatic relations with the US, Imran stated that he wanted Pakistan to be on friendly terms with all countries but would not accept slavery at any cost.

“We can even be friends with India if the Kashmir issue is solved. But we won’t be slaves of anyone,” the former premier said in an address via video link today.

Imran said that he always wanted an independent foreign policy for Pakistan. “The foreign policy we have right now does not protect the people of Pakistan, it instead saves the interest of other countries.

“We don’t want enmity with anyone. We want good relations with everyone, but not slavery,” he reiterated.
