ISLAMABAD (Dispatches) –Pakistan has said it reserves the right to ‘pursue legitimate economic and commercial interests’ with Iran in the wake of re-imposition of sanctions on Tehran by U.S. President Donald Trump.
"We are examining the implications of the U.S.’ re-imposed sanctions on Iran,” Foreign Office spokesperson Muhammad Faisal told reporters at his weekly news briefing.
"However, Pakistan, being a sovereign state, reserves the right to pursue legitimate economic and commercial interests while respecting the international legal regime,” Faisal added.
The Trump administration recently re-imposed sanctions on Iran with warning to other countries that Washington would slap similar restrictions on the states intending to do business with Tehran.
