The Foreign Office spokesperson, Sajjad Haider Khan, has said that Pakistan is a responsible member of the international community and shall continue to adhere to all applicable sanctions regimes.

The spokesperson was responding to a query about the US announcing sanctions against 13 individuals and entities, including one based in Pakistan, alleging they helped Iran procure weapons.

“Pakistan reaffirms its commitment to the rules-based system, rooted in multilateralism and international law,” he said during a weekly FO briefing.

He added that Pakistan, as a mediator, urges both sides — the United States and Iran — to exercise restraint.
