Pakistan wants good relations with neighbouring countries, including India [ Images ], on the basis of equality, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani [ Images ] said today.

Addressing a gathering at the circuit house in his hometown of Multan in Punjab [ Images ] province, Gilani said Pakistan wished to resolve differences with India on sharing river waters and the Kashmir [ Images ] dispute through negotiations.
