QUETTA: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani Wednesday said the entire world was benefiting from the war on terror that Pakistan was engaged with, and expressed serious concern over the suspension of US military aid to Pakistan.
“Pakistan’s relations with the US are based on mutual interests but we now have serious concerns about the suspension of US aid,” the prime minister said while addressing a press conference at the CM Secretariat here following the special session of the federal cabinet.
Regarding Afghanistan, he reiterated that Pakistan fully supported the reconciliation process in Afghanistan, adding that any decision in this regard should be made taking Pakistan onboard since US, Afghanistan and Pakistan were part of the core group.
Referring to the break up of political ties with the MQM, the prime minister said “We have had good relations with the MQM for over three years, and will endeavour to redress their concerns.”
However, the MQM has its own manifesto and so the Pakistan People’s Party will move ahead, he said. To a query regarding the issue of missing persons in Balochistan, PM Gilani said his government was seriously concerned over the issue, which was already in the court of law and a commission had also been constituted by the government to resolve it. “I am ready to hold talks with the leadership of Balochistan to resolve the issues of the province and have formed a committee in this regard,” the prime minister said. “I have authorised the chief minister to coordinate in this regard.”
