ISLAMABAD: US charge d`affaires Richard Hoagland was summoned by the Foreign Office on Monday.

Hoagland was summoned to register a protest regarding the resolution presented in the US Congress about Balochistan.

According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, the resolution is a violation of the UN charter and it would have a negative impact on Pak-US relations.

On Sunday, Hoagland while speaking to Geo News said Balochistan was an important issue but not part of US foreign policy.

He added that supporting Balochistan's independence was not the policy of the Obama administration.
