PR. No. 380/2009
Date: 09/10/2009
Our attention has been drawn to media reports attributed to Foreign Office. Lately there have been instances where even the Foreign Office spokesperson has been misquoted or remarks have been attributed to unnamed Foreign Office officials.
These reports are evidently misleading and create misunderstanding. The Foreign Office does not conduct diplomacy through the media.
The Foreign Office position, views and comments are either expressed by the Foreign Minister and/or by the Foreign Office spokesperson. The authentic version/transcript of these Remarks is invariably posted on the Foreign Office website: www.mofa.gov.pk
For the purpose of accuracy and precision, it is important to verify any print/electronic versions from the Foreign Office website.
The Foreign Ministry does not take the responsibility for the Remarks attributed to it by anonymous sources.
