US respects Pakistan's sovereignty: Embassy spokesman

ISLAMABAD: The United States respects the territorial integrity of Pakistan, as the bills introduced by members of US Congress on numerous foreign affairs topics do not in any way imply the US government endorsement.

"Members of Congress introduce legislation on numerous foreign affairs topics and these bills do not in any way imply US government endorsement of any particular policy", a US Embassy spokesman said in a statement here on Sunday.

"The Department of State does not typically comment on pending legislation, but it is not the policy of the administration to support independence for Balochistan," the statement added.
