QUETTA: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that all issues with India, including Kashmir, terrorism and water, can be resolved through ‘composite dialogue’.

Speaking at the Command and Staff College at a ceremony held here on Monday to mark the completion of a course, he said: “Pakistan seeks negotiated and peaceful resolution of all disputes with India.”

He said the Indian leadership had agreed to resume composite dialogue on all controversial issues.

He said Pakistan believed in having peaceful relations with all neighbouring countries.

Referring to the US-India civil nuclear deal, he said Pakistan was justified in demanding a non-discriminatory US policy.

The prime minister said Pakistan valued long-term strategic relations with the US. “We have held dialogue with the US government on strategic issues.”

He said the country’s friendly ties with China were becoming stronger.

Replying to a question, he said Pakistan was part of efforts being made to improve the situation in Afghanistan. He said the country had been looking after over 3.5 million Afghan refugees.

“We extended cooperation and technical support to the Afghan government in building the Afghan National Army and police.” He said the government had been giving scholarship to 2,000 Afghan youths.

The prime minister stressed the need for Chief of Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani to brief politicians and parliamentarians on challenges related to militancy and other security issues. He said that millions of people had been affected by terrorism and extremism.

“It is the need of the hour to resolve this issue with a progressive approach and tolerance.” He said that all stakeholders and agencies had been working together against militancy.

He said success of the military action against terrorists in Malakand, Swat and Wazirstan had been globally acknowledged. He said the government was giving priority to restoring peace in those areas because the society had been attacked by militants.

“I am proud that the people of Malakand, Swat and Wazirstan fully cooperated with the government in the action against militancy,” he said.

“I am a supporter of a free judiciary, free media and professional military,” he said, adding that the world would not support any undemocratic action.

The chief of the army staff was also present.

A good step forward, but have to wait and see for the efforts from both sides and the results.

No guys...please stop talking about Pakistan becoming shambles in another 2-3 years and India breaking into pieces in 10 years.
Nothing of that sort is gonna happen..Both nations are resilient enuff of surviving any odds.

But i gotta agree with u wen u say maintain the status quo.We neither need any of Pak's territory nor are we willing to compromise an inch of our land.

 

[roach]

Once bitten, twice shy.
Gilani seems to be the most sincere leader for quite a while, and Gen.Kayani seems to be sensible too.
The Pakistani economy is doing well, and Sania Mirza is now a Pakistani Bahu.
So far, so good.

Our fingers are crossed.

Hope stays afloat.

There won't be true peace due to historical reasons and Kashmir.

 

[Kompromat]

There won't be true peace due to historical reasons and Kashmir.

And because of America too.

Yeah, buddy. I know that you Yanks can see the writing on the wall. Your time has passed, the peak is behind.

It's all downhill from now on, like the British after WWII.

Sc*** history.


We aren't you.

 

[Black Stone]

And because of America too.

What do you mean by that?. Anyways, consider this. If US is not involved in anything. Will there be true Indo-Pak peace tomorrow?.

You know, it is interesting to see how you lose it with a simple post of mine. If you disagree to what I say, at least debate about it.

It seems whatever problems, it is related to the US. If you really think there will be true peace at least tell me your views on how that would happen.

 

[Kompromat]

There would be or not but the blame would never go to US.

US has never tried to mediate the core issues between Pak-Ind rather focused on their military supplies.

peace is not wanted in this region i suppose

 

[Kompromat]

WE INDIA DON'T WANT USA to negotiate..so how can they come w/o inviting..afterall its a bi lateral affair...

You dont want US , dont want UNO , dont want China , Dont want Arab league , dont want OIC to mediate - you yourself are not ready for such talks either.

It speaks out how serious are you for peace negotiations .

Involving others will dilute our position isn't that clear on the wall ?
Pakistan clearly wants others to mediate because it knows it can't do a thing alone...is that the truth ?

Undoubtedly, talking is a good idea. But in view of the huge trust deficit as perceived in India; at least a beginning has to be made to 'walk the talk'.

In Fact your position is not the only position that matters , you need to unfold your falsehood of patriotism to think beyond the box.
