Pakistan seeks peaceful resolution of all issues with India including Jammu and Kashmir: PM
ISLAMABAD, Dec 18 (APP): Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani Saturday said Pakistan seeks a peaceful resolution of all issues with India, including the longstanding issue of Jammu and Kashmir.Addressing a luncheon reception hosted in honour of visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao here at a local hotel, the Prime Minister said, “We desire a peaceful environment in our region in the interest of our development and to raise the living standards of our people.” We seek peaceful resolution of all issues with India, including the longstanding Jammu and Kashmir dispute,” Gilani said.
The Prime Minister said success in this endeavour would usher in a new era of peace and prosperity in South Asia.
Similarly, he said, a stable Afghanistan will open up vast opportunities for Pakistan and indeed for the regional countries.
“We are opposed to any policy which aims at ‘containing progress or impeding peace and development in the region”, said the Prime Minister.
