US doesn't support Balochistan separation: State Department
US respects Pakistans territorial integrity, the State Department said.
WASHINGTON (APP) - Rejecting the notion of an independent Balochistan, the State Department has said the United States respects territorial integrity of Pakistan.
“The United States respects the territorial integrity of Pakistan. It is not the policy of the Administration to support independence for Balochistan”, the Office of the Department Spokesperson said in a written answer regarding comments on Balochistan by Congressman Louie Gohmert, a Republican from Texas.
“We are aware of Representative Gohmert’s comments. Members of Congress express a wide range of views. Such comments do not in any way imply U.S. government endorsement”, the State Department clarified.
