The statement came just after a day when a Pakistan Air Force JF-17 Thunder jet shot down an Iranian drone - UAV - in Balochistan's Panjgur District along the Pak-Iran border.
Talking about the possible increase in U.S. drone strikes, Zakaria said that such strikes were against sovereignty of Pakistan and are "unacceptable".
"Pakistan has already shared the information about striking down of this drone with the Iranian authorities indicating that the drone was struck down by our security forces as it was unmarked and there was no prior information about its flight", the Pakistan foreign ministry said.
Drone attacks are against Pakistan's integrity, remarked Zakaria.
During the weekly news briefing, the spokesperson said that Pakistan's policy regarding drone strikes had always been clear.
Instead, the spokesperson said that Pakistan values its relationship with America and would work closely with the Trump administration.
He also said that counter-terrorism operations were driven by Pakistan's national interests and are directed against all terrorists without discrimination and distinction.
