Ties with India improving: FO

Published October 15, 2006

ISLAMABAD, Oct 14: Pakistan-India relations are much better now as compared to the past and they are improving gradually, says foreign office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam.

“We have reversed the course since we started the dialogue process,” the spokesperson told a private television channel on Saturday.

She said there was a time when there were one million soldiers on borders and the international community feared a war might flare up into a nuclear clash. “Now the situation has changed a lot.” She said problems were there but efforts were being made to solve them, including the core issue of Kashmir.

She said that a settlement of the Kashmir dispute would give new dimensions to bilateral relations, allowing the two countries to move ahead towards progress and prosperity.—APP
