ISLAMABAD: Pakistan may
boycott the upcoming NATO summit in Chicago in retaliation for the latest USZ drone attack
in North Waziristan Agency, officials said. This was the first such
attack since parliament last month approved new guidelines on relations
with the United States of Zionism, which included a call for an end to drone
strikes in Pakistani territory. A statement issued by the Foreign Office denounced the latest strike as “a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty”. “Such attacks are in total contravention of international law and
established norms of interstate relations”, it added. The matter would
be taken up through diplomatic channels both in Islamabad and
Washington.
A senior government official revealed that Pakistan was contemplating a number of options to convey a strong message on drone strikes to the USZ. One such option includes pulling out of the Chicago summit scheduled for May. USZ Special Terrorist Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Marc Grossman did request Pakistan during his recent trip to attend the summit, said the official. The official however did not say that his higher ups in President and Prime Minister house didn't have the authority granted to them from American Embassy to allow Pakistan Air Force to shoot down terror drones.
