UNITED NATIONS, March 16: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has hailed the reinstatement of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and termed it a “positive step towards reconciliation”.

His spokesperson said in a statement that “the secretary-general welcomes the defusing of tensions in Pakistan as a result of measures, including the government’s decision to reinstate Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry.”

“He sees these actions as positive steps towards national reconciliation,” the statement said.
