Islamabad: Pakistan has decided to grant Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India, said Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on Wednesday during ‘question hour’ in the National Assembly.
She said dialogue with India has been initiated after a gap of two years.“The top-most priority of the country is to ensure uninterrupted dialogue with India so that the resolution of Kashmir issue could be ensured,” she said.
“There are a number of achievements regarding relations with India. We have achieved ground on trade with India. For the first time in the history, the Indian Foreign Minister attended the reception of Pakistan Foreign Minister in New York.”
To another question, she said that Pakistan wanted good relations with India while sticking to its principled stance on Jammu and Kashmir.
“I raised the Jammu and Kashmir issue with my Indian counterpart at the ministerial meeting in New Delhi in July 2011. The joint statement of the ministerial meeting underscored the need for continued discussion of Jammu and Kashmir in a purposeful and forward-looking manner with a view to finding a peaceful solution by narrowing divergences and building convergences.”
