'Pakistan is not desperate for talks with India'

June 06, 2016 09:59

Adviser to Pakistani Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said India never opened a window of opportunity for dialogue and goodwill with Pakistan as any progress in this regard was scuttled when talks between the countries were postponed after the Pathankot attack.

Aziz was referring to Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikars recent statement about the slowly closing window of goodwill and dialogue with Pakistan as Pakistan separates terrorists between good ones and bad ones.

It is a very strange thing to say, the foreign affairs advisor contended, adding, "It was decided here on December 9 that the dialogue will resume but then the Pathankot incident occurred and everything vanished into thin air.

Aziz added that Pakistan is not desperate for talks and there is no restlessness on the Pakistani side for dialogue. But if this region has to see peace, this region has to see co-ordination first.

The whole world agrees that India and Pakistan should have composite dialogue.
