MUNICH (TDI), February 18th () – – Pakistan has the potential to act as a bridge between the US and China, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said during an interview with German television on the margins of the Munich Security Conference.
“Going forward we’d like to see ourselves as a nation that can bridge that gap rather than sort of increase that division,” Bilawal said.
He underlined Pakistan’s long-standing role in fostering diplomatic relations between countries and emphasized that some nations were taking advantage of the competitive situation between the United States and China.
“There are some nations who are profiting or benefiting from the fact that US and China are increasingly competitive but Pakistan has been in a different position,” he said.
He also expressed optimism about the prospect of improving relations with India, saying that peace with the rival country, or at the very least trade, was possible.
Speaking about US President Donald Trump, Bilawal Bhutto described him as a “dealmaker” and suggested that Islamabad could successfully engage with him.
