Islamabad, Aug 10 (ANI): Pakistan has voiced its opposition to any "coercive" measures in Syria, which could worsen an already volatile situation in the troubled country.
Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar made these remarks at a consultative meeting on Syria in Tehran.
The conference, attended by 28 countries, including India, is seen as Iran's attempt to garner support against regime change in Syria. The conference is seeking to find a sustainable solution to the burgeoning humanitarian crisis after the United Nations failed to rein in the warring parties, reports The Express Tribune.
Khar reiterated the need to find mutually agreeable political solution to the impending crisis, saying that prolonged instability in Syria would have serious consequences for the Muslim community.
Explaining why Pakistan abstained from voting for the U.N. resolution on Syria last month, she said Pakistan opposed any outside intervention, which could worsen an already complex situation.
Highlighting Pakistan's belief in the principles of territorial integrity and respect for national sovereignty of member states, Khar said: "We also need to be mindful that the way we deal with any particular crisis becomes a precedent to be emulated in future." (ANI)
