Pakistan won't become party in any conflict: FM Qureshi
Qureshi said that conflicts are not in favour of any country
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Thursday said that neither Pakistan would allow its soil to be used against any country nor it will not become party to any conflict.
Addressing a seminar in Islamabad on Thursday, he said that diplomacy is the first line of defense and Pakistan remains committed to its core objective of lowering tensions and promoting peace and stability in the region.
The foreign minister said that Pakistan will not become party in any regional conflict and would continue to support negotiated settlement of all regional disputes.
Qureshi said that conflicts are not in favour of any country and dialogue is only viable option to bring peace and stability to the region.
“Pakistan is a peace-loving nation and wants to forge peaceful relations with all its neighboring countries, including India and Afghanistan,” he said.
Regarding Indian aggression, the FM expressed regret that unilateral and illegal actions taken by BJP-led fascist regime in Occupied Kashmir have endangered the regional peace and stability.
He recalled that Pakistan s forces responded to Indian aggression with full bravery and strength in February last year.
FM Qureshi went on to say that the recent spree of violence in New Delhi has badly exposed anti-Muslims and Hindutva ideology of the BJP government.
Talking about landmark peace accord inked in Doha, he said the agreement vindicated Prime Minister Imran Khan s long-held narrative that there is no military solution to Afghan conflict and only politically-negotiated settlement can promote peace in the war-torn country.
“Islamabad opened Kartarpur Corridor to allow Sikh Pilgrims to visit to their religious holy site, and this peace initiative got recognition at international level,” Qureshi added.
