New York: Pakistan’s permanent representative at the United Nations Abdullah Haroon has said that Islamabad is not isolated internationally and no one can dictate terms to it.

In an interview with VOA on Monday, Haroon said Pakistan was in a position to take stand and say no to what was not in the interest of the country.

He said there was a time when Pakistan was asked to do this and that but now it could sit on the negotiation table and take decisions on its own.

“Now we will say that it is better and this approach be followed,” he said.

Replying to a question, the permanent representative at the UN said Pakistan’s election as non permanent member of UN Security Council was a big success at the international level. He said India not only voted for Pakistan but also lobbied with other countries in Pakistan’s favour.

Haroon said for the last three years, both Pakistan and India had been working to improve their relations. He also prayed for the success of the dialogue process.
