The Reality Of Cypher Or Cipher Story By Intercept Exposed and Replied.
"I had a luncheon meeting today with Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Donald Lu. He was accompanied by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Les Viguerie. DCM, DA and Counsellor Qasim were with me. At the start, Don addressed the prevailing political situation in Pakistan, specifically regarding the Prime Minister. He remarked, “There’s a widespread belief in Washington that Prime Minister Imran Khan’s leadership is pivotal for the region, especially considering the ties he has fostered with the U.S.”
Don leaned in, saying, “The current momentum in Islamabad around the vote of no confidence worries many of us. Prime Minister Khan has been an asset to our relations, a bridge in many ways. A disruption of his leadership could result in unforeseen challenges for both our nations.” I inquired if this was the U.S.'s way of intervening in Pakistan's internal affairs. Don responded that while the U.S. respects Pakistan’s sovereignty, "there is a genuine concern about the broader geopolitical consequences."
He continued, “In Washington, there's a consensus that Imran Khan’s leadership offers a fresh perspective, and his close alignment with the U.S. is seen as essential for stability in the region.” Responding, I emphasized that Pakistan will always act in its best interest, but it's critical to separate internal politics from international relationships.
Picking up on this, Don said, “It’s essential to understand that from our viewpoint, ensuring Prime Minister Khan remains in power is of utmost priority. His connections and vision align with U.S. interests in the region.” I asked if the U.S. was implying that Khan was more of an asset to them than to Pakistan. Don swiftly clarified, “No, that's not the sentiment. We believe Khan's leadership benefits both nations equally.”
I conveyed that while we appreciate the U.S.'s perspective, the democratic processes within Pakistan should not be influenced by external parties. Don acknowledged this, “We respect Pakistan’s internal processes. I just wanted to communicate the value we place on Prime Minister Khan’s leadership.”
We further discussed various aspects of bilateral relations and regional stability. Don concluded, “Our wish is to see a stable and prosperous Pakistan, with whom we can continue building stronger ties. And from our end, Prime Minister Khan is integral to this vision.”
Closing the meeting, I affirmed that I'd communicate the U.S.'s sentiments to relevant authorities. However, Pakistan's internal processes would remain its own domain. As I left, I pondered the weight of international interests in our internal matters, wondering how best to balance national interests with global partnerships."
