Pak wants resumption of CD, vibes 'not encouraging': Gilani



Rezaul H Laskar
Islamabad, Feb 18 (PTI) Pakistan wants resumption of the
stalled composite dialogue with India but "the vibes emanating
from the other side have not been encouraging," Pakistan's
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Thursday.

Gilani made the remarks while discussing the state of
Indo-Pak relations and the forthcoming Foreign Secretary-level
talks with visiting US Special Representative for Pakistan and
Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke.
Pakistan is committed to peace in the region and the
government is "making sincere efforts for resumption of the
composite dialogue process with India," Gilani said.
However, he "regretted that the vibes emanating from the
other side have not been encouraging."
Relations between India and Pakistan "should not become
hostage to the activities of terrorists," who are the common
enemy, Gilani was quoted as saying in a statement issued by
his office.
He said both countries "must address core issues,
including Kashmir and water disputes," for lasting peace in
the region.
Gilani and Holbrooke also held wide-ranging discussions
on various issues, including the major offensive against the
Taliban launched by the US-led forces in Afghanistan and
proposed US-Pakistan strategic dialogue. (More) PTI RHL
