Pakistan has lodged a strong protest with Japan over the wording of the joint statement agreed to by New Delhi and Tokyo earlier this month which makes direct reference to cross-border terrorism emanating from Islamabad. 

Pakistan says - Yes, we have expressed our concerns to Japan through diplomatic channels. In fact, a strong démarche has been made. Japan and Pakistan enjoy long-standing and cordial relations encompassing a wide array of fields and marked by a shared commitment to international peace, stability, and development. Whenever there is an engagement with India, India forces the inclusion of such references in its joint statements, not just with Japan but also with other countries. We have indicated this time as well that such language is inconsistent with the facts on the ground. The Japanese government’s endorsement of such one-sided formulations ignores the undeniable contribution and sacrifices made by Pakistan.”
