Expo 2020 Allegations By Gulf News “Baseless”, Says Pakistan


Pakistan’s foreign Affairs Ministry has slammed a recent editorial by Dubai newspaper Gulf News, which accused the country of “betraying” the UAE by not supporting Dubai during the Expo 2020 vote on November 27.
In a statement on its website, a ministry spokesperson rejected the allegations as “baseless and malicious.”

“Pakistan and UAE enjoy long standing, deep rooted and brotherly relations. In the case of Expo 2020, Pakistan was committed to vote for Turkey which requested for Pakistan’s support as far as back in May 2011. The UAE entered the race much later. This fact was explained to the UAE leadership. It was also conveyed that if Turkey were to withdraw its candidature, Pakistan would not only support the UAE but also lobby for it,” the spokesperson stated.

“Consequently, when Turkey withdrew its candidature, Pakistan voted in favour of the UAE in the subsequent rounds of voting. Pakistan’s supportive efforts have been acknowledged by the UAE leadership, which has conveyed its appreciation at the highest level.”

The statement added: “Responsible newspapers are expected to ensure greater accuracy in their reporting.”
 


In an editorial published on December 14, titled ‘Expo 2020 vote: UAE deserves answers from Pakistan and Afghanistan’, Gulf News said it was “stunned and disappointed” to learn that Pakistan and Afghanistan, two close allies of the UAE, chose not to vote for Dubai.

It added: “Despite their assurances, those two countries declined to vote for Dubai, which leads to serious questions about their credibility as allies.”

The article received a severe backlash from readers and senior Pakistani officials in the UAE, who ridiculed the article and demanded an apology.

Javed Jalil Khattak, consulate general of Pakistan, Dubai, dubbed the piece “an orchestrated attempt to damage and defame the historic fraternal relations between Pakistan and the UAE.”

“Not only is the language offensive, the article is factually incorrect,” he said.

However, in a response posted on its website on December 17, Gulf News said it stands by its editorial.

“The editorial only discussed and questioned the action, and the intent of a government that is considered to be a close ally of the UAE. And in this regard, we stand by what we reported, which is based on solid facts,” it said.

“The fact remains that the Pakistan government, despite its official pledge to the UAE, has voted for another city on the night of November 27.

“As an independent newspaper, we have the right to question such action and call for a justification, if there were any,” it added.

Its just Foreign Office failure.

You can't commit to two nations. There has to be one stand, not that FO says one thing and one minister commits otherwise. Its just lack of professionalism.

As mentioned in the article,many Pakistanis live in UAE, much more than Turkey and UAE donated graciously during calamity on Pakistan. Reciprocity has to be considered.

Had Pakistan and all its ministers kept same stand this wouldn't had happen at first place.

UAE is not US nor a regional power. It should keep his mouth off. Even if Pakistan had voted for UAE, what we Turks should do would not be whining to our brother upon our respect to her decision.

Pakistan voted for UAE AFTER Turkiye opted out.

Pakistan poses no threat to UAE, if they keep funding monsters, one day they'll hear us in some way or form. There is a limit to our patience. UAE has taken steps to curb these baboons, however some powerful individuals still support terrorism in our land....this might lead to an unpleasent response.
