PTI argued that peace cannot be reduced to financial influence and cautioned that the forum may undermine the authority of the United Nations, particularly on issues such as Gaza and the broader Palestinian cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calling for transparency, PTI urged the government to disclose the terms of Pakistan\u2019s participation, including any financial obligations and political commitments. The party stressed that Pakistan\u2019s foreign policy should remain anchored in international law, multilateral consensus and the country\u2019s long-standing principled stance on global conflicts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday criticised the government\u2019s decision to join US President Donald Trump\u2019s proposed Board of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1698,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
