The diplomatic meeting came two weeks after the Russian invasion of #Ukraine, which was launched as Khan was en route to Moscow — a visit that reportedly infuriated Washington.

During the meeting, Lu claimed that the stance seems to be the position of the PM and “if the no-confidence movement against him succeeds, all will be forgiven by Washington.”

The document further shows that Lu warned that, if the situation was not resolved, #Pakistan would be marginalised by its Western allies.

He added that if Khan remains in office, his country could face isolation from Europe and the US.
