""PM Gilani on Thursday said US only seeks to shares defeats with Pakistan.
He said Pakistan considers its relations with the United States extremely important. He stressed that victories in the fight against terrorism must be credited to Pakistan. As we [Pakistan and US] are working together in fighting militancy, victories should be shared along with losses, Gilani said at a press conference in London on the conclusion of his four-day visit.
The PM acknowledged that Pakistan and the United States were undergoing a strained period after the unilateral action by the US in Abbottabad against al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
He said the incident resulted in misunderstanding between the two countries after Pakistan voiced its reservations for not being taken into confidence for violating its sovereignty.
Gilani said Pakistan would not allow any restrictions forced on it from outside and added that the countrys sovereign parliament had already adopted a resolution opposing such step.
When asked about the need for a more independent foreign policy, he said the parliament had all the rights to review national strategies and invited the members to work on it, if required.
On relations with India, the Prime Minister said the two countries had come on the table to discuss all the issues, including the Kashmir dispute.
He said Pakistan and India had realized that their relations should not become hostage to the Mumbai incident and added that the foreign ministers would be meeting on July 27 to discuss a range of issues.""
