The U.S. has said that it does not endorse Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s contention that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy strengthened the Pakistan-China relationship and that it was for the countries in question to speak for themselves.

“ I will leave it to the Pakistanis and the PRC to speak to their relationship. I certainly would not – would not endorse those remarks,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said when asked for a reaction to Mr. Gandhi’s comments in Parliament on Wednesday. The former Congress president and MP had said that the government’s foreign policy had brought China and Pakistan together.
