the crude from the islamic state. of the e.u. she was bracing to find an alternative. pakistan's foreign minister has told us here on american drone strikes kill civilians are pushing new recruits into the arms of the region's militant groups on thursday one of the latest attacks reportedly queued. up next in full that a special interview with pakistan's foreign minister on the policy challenges that lie ahead you're watching. she's the youngest foreign minister and a world that has to deal with some of the toughest security challenges he not rabani khar pakistan's foreign minister is joining us now on r.t. thank you very much for your time minister it's been more than ten years since pakistan joined the u.s. military operations in afghanistan do you think that was the right thing to do you

see if. you would you know things look very different but of course. the collaboration that pakistan has had in the last ten years pakistan has bit of a heavy price for that but it is also a fact that pakistan inhibits a region inhabits a region and will continue to have inhabited this region and this region has some serious problems the region has some serious problems put into terrorism and pakistan has always maintained that it is important to have collaborative joint efforts to be able to rid the streets and rather than for law sort of unitary approaches. in how we want to rid the streets and you mentioned. the price of your involvement in afghanistan has been pretty high many thousand of your citizens lost their lives millions people have been replaced there are estimates that it cost your country around seventy billion u.s.

dollars but we often hear criticism about pakistan's role. but their guts to involvement in afghanistan from the american side do you think the united states treats you fairly. i would like to answer that question by seeing the. two solid robust partnership is that each able to live or operate within the bounds of what is. believed to be you know what has been agreed . treating fairly is concerned i think pakistan has in this particular case not been treated fairly by anybody. for that matter because pakistan continues to lose continues to lose in terms of economic cost in terms of the social cost i think sometimes that is not emphasized on enough so we continue to lose in many many ways but some times the rule that is that is put on pakistan is

a rule which is understandable which defies logic so to speak because if the first country to benefit from is stable one stands pakistan and the first country to lose from in you know unstable understand is also pakistan so pakistan stick a very high and that is what is commonly believed that yes pakistan stakes are very high but pakistan sticks are very high in having stability in afghanistan not instability in the on the stand so we have maintained and we stated very clearly that it is really for the one people to determine what course of action they want to take in any way possible whether they want to have strategic alliance with country a country b. it's a sovereign country we must respect them as that but pakistan's rule in any way can only be there to support of i think saying that pakistan is cause of the problem and is creating trouble is an imaginary solution it is an imaginary blame it is an imaginary looking for an answer but the real solutions the real problems have to be

faced you know on the ground now as we all know that the united states has been taking on a lead role in this military operation. why do you think with all its military power and the resources that are invested into this campaign why anything. the results are not that impressive as a few they could be i think i'm not the right person to answer that question it should be somebody from the us administration i want to question to be right i don't think it is important with the us is succeeding or is winning in afghanistan or not what is important is that of one the stand is winning or not because the goal of the u.s. and pakistan and the region and all the forty eight countries which operate in the understand is to make of understand when if i may come back to the issue of american criticism for just one question president obama said in a number of occasions that one of the reasons why the united states is using drones to file for your territory and to hit targets on your territory is because the

pakistani authorities are logically. are not in control of their own land and my question is. why pakistan tolerating the use of military technology that are hitting targets on pakistani land that ultimately oftentimes lead to the. loss of life among the pakistani citizens this is one of the major problems that keeps us from achieving our successes in our view. not only completely illegal and awful and have north resolution to be used within the demeans of international law but even more importantly the counterproductive to your objective of getting this region rid of militancy and terrorism and extremism because if one strike leads to getting you target number one or target number three to be you're creating five more targets or

ten more targets in the militancy that it breeds in the in the for doing that it gives to the militants to attract more people to join the ranks we are today in pakistan suffering from the consequences. what you know many other powers of the world decided to do in that region to rid itself of the challenge that appeared in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine which was the soviet invasion of one star now in trying to deal with that we have created certain groups which are to be. a challenge to everybody so again do we want to repeat the same mistakes again clearly pakistan doesn't think so and pakistan has categorically said that it is illegal under full counterproductive other any than ears in your view reasonable values that pakistan could take in case of drone attacks beyond forcing it's

concern or a distraction my question to you is it just an issue of some countries allowing. greater freedom and greater purpose far off foreign policy tools than others that would be a very unfair world and i hope that's not a world that we are moving towards and therefore the questions of illegality and under full. is extremely important one and. we currently no compromise in pakistan about that if you look as i've said i think this is partially one of the major reasons which is responsible for where we are today pakistan country which considers itself to be a sovereign country to consider to be an independent country has therefore decided to reassess the whole terms of engagement because for to us it is very clear that this is not part of the terms of engagement if that clarity is required elsewhere i guess the parliament will be in. to be able to define it but peace with the

approach that we've taken the approach that we do can is not that of a confrontation the prudes that we're taking is that for doing the partnership which is which is based on mutual respect and based on mutual interest just last week. and her report was leaked to the media that pakistani security forces and maintaining contacts with. terrorism and extremist organizations that are operating in afghanistan as far as i understand there was ever an. allegation that they're supporting them financially. is this first of all this is not a new to report we were told by need to at least that this is a. single person not to report but it's in the country in a single person and pretty much i've called it. a bottle because this is not an accusation or allegation that to be made on part of the specific context of the

mentioned were with the taliban of alter intelligence agencies i think every intelligence agency in the world particularly the ones which of world. i mean. with one group or the other and all of them at some level and these guys are now pretty much out in the open because people are openly talking about talking to them so i think just creating you know this is this is something which is not even worth a comment quite frankly the united states is expected to withdraw its troops from afghanistan and a matter of a few years is pakistan looking forward to that event but you see again they came here with some goals and objectives we would hope that most of those goals and objectives are met at least partially met and we would hope that when the. end of one of one son is a better place than when they first came but the long term presence of foreign troops in the region is always always counterproductive. yes but we would also

be very very mindful of what is the situation on the ground when they leave because instability more instability is clearly something that this region cannot cannot afford i'd like to switch gears a little bit and ask you about iran you know the west. piling its pressure on that country which is your neighbor and longtime partner. how would pakistan respond in a case of military strike against iran we would strongly ask all countries to desist from any option which is military at all because this region has already seen too much and we do not want any further destabilization. we feel very strongly that these things can be done you know that on the negotiation table that there should be flexibility shown and that dialogue should be considered to be the only

way forward and it would have disastrous let me go to pakistan feels it would have disastrous results for the region what about syria do support the military intervention against assad's regime we support no military intervention against in the region because we feel that independent sovereign the territorial integrity of a country are important aspects and there in shined in many many places now what we need to ensure the international community is is that violence from any side is not given lunch is not allowed to. move forward thank you very much for a time minister thank you. wealthy british style. is not on the tightly.
