Islamabad :
Pakistan has reacted cautiously to Indian proposal to withdraw troops from Siachen Glacier. According to reports, Foreign Office spokesman said that it is proposed to withdraw troops from Siachen, Pakistan refrained from reacting immediately to Indian proposal. The Foreign Office spokesman said that Pakistan wants peaceful and friendly relations with all its neighbors including India.
We are committed to meaningful, constructive and fruitful dialogue with India, but it is India’s responsibility to create a conducive environment for dialogue. On several occasions, our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister have stated their position on dialogue with India. But India has spoiled the environment.
The Foreign Office Spokesperson expressed his heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the family of the slain Haqqani. Referring to the Houthi rebels, the Spokesman said that Pakistan would support all efforts to restore peace in the region. He said that since the Prime Minister’s first visit to China in November 2018, full attention was being paid to socio-economic development projects in C-Pec, which would enhance the welfare of the people of both the countries.
He said that 27 projects are in various stages of completion. The C-Pec projects include cooperation in the fields of technology, agriculture, science and IT, besides work on major infrastructure projects while GCC has also endorsed new mega infrastructure projects, including Azad Patan and Kohala hydropower projects. These projects will help overcome Pakistan’s food security and energy problems.
