Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s adviser on foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz has said that Pakistan wanted de-escalation of tensions with India for the collective good of the entire region.
Radio Pakistan quoted Aziz as saying in an interview that no progress was visible in Pakistan-Indian relations till Narendra Modi stayed in power in New Delhi.
However, Pakistan did not want escalation of the situation, he added.
Pakistan would continue diplomatic efforts for improvement of ties with India, said Aziz.
However, asserting that Pakistan would never compromise on its principled stand on Kashmir, he said that Pakistan would continue to extend political, moral and diplomatic support to the Kashmiris who had been struggling to get their absolute right to self-determination for a long time.
Speaking on Afghanistan, Aziz said that Pakistan would continue its reconciliatory role for bringing peace in the neighboring country.
