Indian news item regarding withdrawal of Pakistan’s GSP+ status ‘fabricated’: FO

July 28, 2021 (MLN): The news item by an Indian News Agency speculating withdrawal of Pakistan’s GSP Plus status is fabricated and a continuation of India’s malicious propaganda against Pakistan, Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri Spokesperson of Foreign Office said on Tuesday.

In a statement issued via an official Twitter handle, the FO spokesperson said, “Even after India’s disinformation campaign being unearthed globally as a result of EU DisinfoLab report, the Indian state and obliging Indian media remain busy in concocting baseless stories against Pakistan.”

The Spokesperson said Pakistan and the EU maintain close high-level engagement through multiple dialogue mechanisms, and Pakistan remains committed to full implementation of the 27 International Conventions related to the GSP Plus.

“Pakistan has successfully completed three biennial reviews of GSP Plus and the fourth biennial review is currently underway,” he said. “Currently, the European Parliament is on summer recess till autumn and there has been no discussion on Pakistan since April 2021,” he said.
