Hope new Pak government will help build south Asia free of terror: India

July 28, 2018 20:47

After Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf emerged as largest party in Pakistan, India today expressed hope that the new government of Pakistan will work constructively to build a safe, stable, secure and developed south Asia free of terror and violence.

"India desires a prosperous and progressive Pakistan at peace with its neighbours," the foreign ministry also said.

65-year-old Imran Khan, the flamboyant cricketer-turned-politician, is set to become the next prime minister of Pakistan with his PTI emerging as the single largest party with 116 seats, but falling short of a majority.

Khan said Pakistan was ready to improve its ties with India and that his government would like the leaders of the two sides to resolve all disputes, including the "core issue" of Kashmir.
