Former Pakistani Envoy Criticizes Military's 'Kaafirs' Remark Amid Concerns About Pakistan's Friendship With US And China.

A former Pakistani envoy publicly criticized remarks made by the Pakistan military that used the word "Kaafirs." The envoy asked, "How do you explain Pakistan's friendship with US, China?" in a statement that drew attention to the country’s diplomatic ties. He said the military’s use of the term was inappropriate and could damage Pakistan’s relationships with key allies, including the United States and China. The comment was made by a senior officer, and the ex‑envoy warned it might harm Pakistan domestically and internationally. The criticism shows a possible divide between the foreign service and the armed forces on how Pakistan should engage with foreign partners.
