As a neighbour (and) a friend of Iran, we would want a peaceful resolution of this issue, |
But what the president offered today was that, as a starter, we could have it in certain areas, |
I don't remember such a long period of peace between India and Pakistan, or a time when the civil societies were so active. |
On both sides there is a constituency for peace, |
Pakistan can do nothing more than that to show how serious it is as far as preventing incursions. |
Pakistan will also do its best diplomatically and ... has already engaged with Iran, the U.S.A., China and EU in this regard. |
The handshake with Israel, which Pakistan believes can help the Palestinians, started because of Pakistani interests alone. No foreign forces were at work here. Pakistan and Israel have held secret talks for over a decade. |
The president offered to Dr Rice that Pakistan is prepared to make a fence along certain areas which are more amenable to incursions, |
The talks went off in a very cordial atmosphere, ... good. |
This is a big challenge to both the leaderships to resolve the issue in a way that is satisfactory to them, but, above all, that is satisfactory to the people of Kashmir, |
This is an important development and can prove to be the beginning for the realization of Palestinian aspirations as well peace and security for the state of Israel |
We do not desire an unstable Iran. We have historical, cultural and geographical relations with Iran. We must do all we can to find a solution based on dialogue and diplomacy. |
We don't ever want anybody to say Pakistan is not doing enough, |
