He said that he always wanted an independent foreign policy for Pakistan adding that the current one is not protecting the people of Pakistan but rather it serves to save the interest of other nations.
“We don’t want enmity with anyone. We want good relations with everyone, but not slavery."
Khan had earlier claimed the Opposition's no-confidence motion against him was a foreign plot. His claims were that foreign funds were being channelled from abroad to overthrow him in light of his independent foreign policy with its neighbour China and other countries such as Russia.
