ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif claimed on Tuesday that all the state institutions are on the same page over the US policy.

Welcoming the pro-Pakistan statements by the regional countries, Asif, who will embark on a three-nation tour this week for consultations on the new American policy for Afghanistan and South Asia, said: “we are not shocked over the remarks made by Trump”.

In a statement on Tuesday, the foreign minister while denying having formal contacts with the US said that the former Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Akhtar Mansour was targeted on our border after allowing him to travel through Iran.

He questioned why the news of Mansour’s death was broken one year after his demise on an important occasion.
