Qureshi for more trade to boost peace with India

London, Jan 31 (PTI) Seeking the resumption of the
stalled composite dialogue with India, the Pakistani Foreign
Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has underlined the need to boost
trade links to promote peace in the region.

Even as pushing for the resumption of dialogue,
Qureshi said Pakistan was interested in "result-orient talks"
with India and and not merely "in photo session".
Qureshi said Pakistan was not begging for peace with
its eastern neighbour but it was important for the region and
could best be promoted through trade links.
Delivering a talk on 'Situation in Pakistan and its
role in the war against terrorism,' at the Oxford University
Saturday, he linked the success in the war against the
Taliban and al-Qaeda in the restive North-West Frontier
Province (NWFP) close to the Afghan border with reduction in
threat on the eastern front (the Indian border).
"We do have outstanding issues with India and wants to
resolve them peacefully. Only when threat on the eastern front
is diminished than we could concentrate on the western
borders. Two fronts situation is not in Pakistan favour," he
was quoted as saying by the Pakistan government-run APP news
agency today. (MORE) PTI RBS
