WASHINGTON, (SANA): Rejecting the notion of an independent Balochistan, the State Department has said the United States respects territorial integrity of Pakistan.

“The United States respects the territorial integrity of Pakistan. It is not the policy of the Administration to support independence for Balochistan”, the Office of the Department Spokesperson said in a written answer regarding comments on Balochistan by Congressman Louie Gohmert, a Republican from Texas.

“We are aware of Representative Gohmert’s comments. Members of Congress express a wide range of views. Such comments do not in any way imply U.S. government endorsement”, the State Department clarified.

She asserted her country respects the territorial integrity of Pakistan, adding it was not the policy of the US administration to support independence for Balochistan.

Marie Harf said the US has nothing to do with the views expressed by the Rep. Louie, as these are his own thinking.

The State Department spokeswoman said, “We are aware of Representative Gohmert’s comments. Members of Congress express a wide range of views. Such comments do not in any way imply U.S. government endorsement.”
