During an interview with the media in New York on Thursday, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto created headlines in Pakistan by defending former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s controversial travel to Russia.
When questioned about Imran Khan’s visit to Moscow, which had enraged western capitals, the foreign minister was speaking at a news conference at the UN Headquarters. The PTI chairman accuses the US of ousting his government because of its independent foreign policy, which the US denies.
Bilawal Bhutto, Pakistan’s youngest foreign minister, responded to the journalist with “maturity, grace, and patriotism,” earning praise from officials and experts at home.
