The incoming Prime Minister and President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Nawaz Sharif, has expressed serious concern and disappointment over the recent US drone attack in the tribal area of the country. The drone attack was not only a violation of the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also an action that has been declared as a violation of International Law and the UN Charter, Nawaz said.
Nawaz Sharif's sentiments were conveyed to the US Charge d' Affairs, Ambassador Richard Hoagland, by a close aide of the PML-N President, who stressed in his conversation with the US diplomat that the drone attack, coming within days of President Obama's "crossroads" speech was highly regrettable, particularly as the President had spoken of initiating a new policy that would ensure greater exercise of care and caution in the use of this technology, sources said.
Nawaz Sharif's aide also pointed out that meaningful consultations and close co-operation between the two countries should be the desired course of action, rather than unilateral measures, the sources added.
