Italy backs Pakistan’s stance in war on terror​

* Seeks regional conference on Afghanistan
* FM supports access for Pakistani goods
* Pakistan, Italy likely to sign MoU on security​

ISLAMABAD: Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini urged the international community on Monday to fully support Pakistan as it was playing its due role in the war on terror.

Addressing a joint press conference at the Foreign Office with Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Frattini said Italy supports Pakistan’s sovereignty and independence.

He said Italy had a clear policy against terrorism, which had military and political dimensions. He said there was no harm in talking with certain elements in order to cut the Taliban’s relationship with the local communities and stop the support they get from them.

Conference: He said Italy was seeking to convene a conference of countries in the region to devise a joint strategy on terrorism. Frattini said Italy supported a political solution for Afghanistan and wanted to root out terrorism with the help of local people through socio-economic development.

EU: Frattini said Italy supported greater access for Pakistan in the European Union (EU) market.

He also invited his Pakistani counterpart to visit Italy to bolster economic ties and increase economic and commercial co-operation between the two countries.

Pashtun: Frattini endorsed Pakistan’s strategy of trying to win over support from the conservative ethnic Pashtun tribes of the region, and not negotiate with Taliban and Al Qaeda until they laid down their arms.

“We do want Pakistan combating terrorism and fighting terrorists, not negotiating with terrorists. This is why we share the same point of view,” he said, adding a bilateral accord on security should be signed early next year.

Qureshi said Pakistan acknowledged Italian support of €7.7 million for development in the small and medium enterprises sector. He said Pakistan had requested Italy to convert loans into aid.

Earlier, the two sides held talks and agreed to expand their trade, economic and cultural ties. They also discussed the war on terror, United Nations reform and Pakistani access to the European market.

Meanwhile, in a meeting at the Prime Minister’s House, PM Yousuf Raza Gilani told the Italian foreign minister Pakistan attached great importance to its political, economic and cultural ties with Italy and both the countries shared common perceptions on most of the regional and global issues, particularly on terrorism and UN reform.

He conveyed the gratitude of the government of Pakistan to Italy for swapping debt of $100 million for socio-economic projects and said the list of projects to be undertaken by Pakistan with that money would soon be conveyed to Italy.

MoU: Frattini assured the prime minister of Italy’s support and co-operation in the war on terror as well as the economy. He said an Italian corporate delegation would soon visit Pakistan to explore the investment opportunities and hoped both the countries would sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on security and defence in the near future to promote defence co-operation as well as exchange of intelligence information. sajjad malik/reuters

GOOD news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[IceCold]

People will definately listen to what we have got to say, the problem lies in when we ourself cant present our side of the story properly to the international community and our media is doing one of the worst job in the history of media ever to present our view point, the challenges that we are facing and how difficult it is really to convince people that this is our war and not just US war.
If we do it properly, we can change the world opinion into our favor and surely can convince the world that we are too the victim here so treat us one as well.

Agreed.

Our government and media has failed to properly present the case to international community. There is no visible evidence to state that Pakistan is even working hard on diplomatic front.

"Friends of Pakistan Forum" is discussing economic crises of Pakistan. This forum should also address the issue of unjust US pressure to "do more" in WOT and territorial violations.

Nawaz Sharif plays key role in Taliban, Afghan govt talks​

Pakistani opposition leader Nawaz Sharif played a key role in conjunction with Saudi Arabia in negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government to pave the way for withdrawal of US-led forces from Afghanistan, a media report said here today.

Former premier and PML-N chief Sharif's participation in the talks led to him putting off his departure from Saudi Arabia for two days, an informed source was quoted as saying by The News daily today.

Sharif returned to Pakistan from Saudi Arabia, where he had gone on a private visit, this morning.

"Nawaz Sharif was invited by Saudi King Abdullah and he undertook the present visit to stay in Saudi Arabia for nearly two weeks to talk about the nitty-gritty of the peace process," the source said.

Days after Afghan President Hamid Karzai called for negotiations with the Taliban, Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban's former ambassador to Pakistan, yesterday said that he met representatives of the Taliban and the Afghan government and a powerful warlord in Saudi Arabia during a meal hosted by Saudi King Abdullah.

The day Sharif arrived landed in Saudi Arabia in September, he had a 90-minute meeting with the Saudi king at which national and regional issues, particularly the wave of terrorist attacks in Pakistan and bloodshed in Afghanistan, were discussed in detail, the source said.

PML-N leaders working closely with Sharif were aware of the objective behind his extended stay in Saudi Arabia. However, The News reported that sources close to President Asif Ali Zardari were oblivious of Sharif's role and efforts in bringing the warring sides in Afghanistan to the negotiating table.
