Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on April 19, said India and Pakistan cannot stay aloof as neighbours, and reiterated the need for dialogue to resolve issues pending between the two countries, reports Daily Times.
“India is geographically linked with Pakistan through a common border, weather conditions, culture, language and rivers,” he said. He added India and Pakistan can coexist peacefully as good neighbours and move forward to resolve all their issues including Kashmir, Siachin, Sir Creek, water, trade and terrorism. He said war always brings destruction and cannot be considered as an option, particularly when both countries have nuclear weapons.
