    Islamabad: Leaders of Imran Khan’s party, PTI, on Thursday poured hate on Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto’s visit to India, alleging he had gone there to show loyalty to Bajwa’s Plan of appeasing the US on Israel and India, The News.com.pk reported.

    “As I had pointed out earlier, Imported FM was desperate to go to Goa to show his loyalty to Bajwa’s Plan of appeasing the US on Israel and India. He again missed meetings in Afghanistan because no photo ops there! Despite insult by India of refusal to arrange bilateral meetings, he’s desperate to go,” tweeted PTI senior leader Dr Shireen Mazari.

    Senior Vice-President of PTI Fawad Chaudhry also took to his Twitter handler to unleash condemnation on the foreign minister’s visit and tweeted that they strongly condemn FM visit of Goa, participation would have been possible on video but problem is you people in “love of Modi are ready to disregard atrocities committed by Modi Janta in Kashmir and hardships Muslims of India and minorities to make Modi Janta happy” Pak Foreign policy is dead by all definitions of the word.

    He wrote that dozens of journalists have been sent to Goa with Bilawal, who will also serve as his political assistants along with official coverage of Bilawal Bhutto’s visit, The News.com.pk reported.

    Earlier today, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar greeted Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari with a “Namastey” in Goa at a conclave of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.

    The two-day-long meeting of SCO member states began here on Thursday.

    Visuals showed the Jaishankar greeting Zardari in Indian tradition with a “Namastey”, avoiding a handshake.

    On his arrival in the coastal State yesterday Zardari had said he looks forward to constructive discussions with his counterparts from friendly countries. The Pakistan minister was received at the airport by Indian diplomat JP Singh (Joint Secretary, Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran desk).

  • Biden’s Ottawa envoy ridicules ‘noise in Canada’

    Biden’s Ottawa envoy ridicules ‘noise in Canada’

    But Cohen said Wednesday that there was no threat because Canada’s electric vehicle industry was just coming into existence.

    The ambassador said his response to Canadians went something like this: “I’m struggling to understand how the inapplicability of a tax credit to a segment of your industry that currently produces no vehicles that are eligible to it is an existential threat to the entire Canadian economy.”

    Freeland’s office responded to Cohen’s comment Wednesday night by pointing POLITICO to a quote from a speech she delivered in Washington last month. “You need us as much as we need you,” she said at the time of the EV dispute.

    The ambassador’s comments come a day after Freeland traveled to Washington for the inaugural meeting of the Canada-U.S. Energy Transformation Task Force.

    Cohen used his time on the Wilson Center stage to obliterate “some noise in Canada about alleged protectionist policies.”

    Cohen said the real competition is against China and Russia and authoritarian regimes. The U.S. is also competing against Europe “to some extent,” he said. “I will argue any day of the week that that requires a close, collaborative relationship with Canada as a like-minded country.”

    An international race to secure major clean energy investments has forced Washington and Ottawa to work closely to decarbonize and protect each country’s economies.

    Tranches of U.S. government funding have been opened up to Canadian firms in order to get projects built. Under the Defense Protection Act, $250 million was made available by the Biden administration for American and Canadian companies that mine and process critical minerals. Awards will be announced “this spring or summer,” Cohen said.

    International Trade Minister Mary Ng met with U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai on Tuesday in Washington and “expanded Buy America provisions” came up, according to a Canadian readout.

    Cohen defended the Biden administration’s trade agenda, saying “any intonation that these programs and legislation are protectionist could not be further from the truth.”

    Canadian concerns about protectionism are a common refrain, Cohen said. He referenced trade data, pointing out that of Canada’s top 25 exports to the U.S., only two — lumber and aluminum — are covered by Buy American federal procurement provisions.
