Commenting on the Indo-Pakistan relations, Mr Khan stressed the need for peace in the subcontinent. He said fair solution to the Kashmir dispute would pave the way for peace in the region. It was imperative that the Kashmiri leadership was included in the dialogue, he added.
He maintained that there was a dire need to uphold national interests and strengthen institutions otherwise Pakistan could not prosper. He stressed the need to clear misconceptions about Pakistan in the West, especially formed in the aftermath of 9/11.
