Qureshi expresses dismay over India's decision
All outstanding issues need to be resolved
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Friday expressed his dismay over Indian government’s decision of calling off next week’s meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries.
Reacting to the cancellation of meeting by India, he said that New Delhi has once again demonstrated hesitation, adding that he was shocked and surprised with the development.
Qureshi went on to say that Indian officials lack mental harmony and it looks like preparations for the forthcoming general elections are underway.
The foreign minister said that a positive message was sent to India through letter and talks are the only way to resolve all outstanding issues. Pakistan wants peace in the region, he added.
“Pakistan wishes improvement in the region but looks like New Delhi has other priorities,” he said and added India had also hinted at holding dialogues like Pakistan but regretted New Delhi didn’t respond positively. All outstanding issues need to be resolved, he added.
He said: “Our attitude is positive but India failed to get out of politics.”
