She was speaking during a weekly media briefing at the Foreign Office.

Aslam said Pakistan welcomed the "amicable resolution" reached over the complaints of fraud in the second round of Afghan presidential elections, adding that it appreciated the efforts of all those who contributed to the peaceful negotiated outcome.

"We believe this is the success of democracy," Aslam said.

She said no cause justifies such despicable acts, especially in the holy month of Ramazan.

“We reiterate condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations," the FO spokesperson said.

Speaking about the conviction of Pakistani journalist Faizullah Khan in Afghanistan, Aslam said the Pakistani Ambassador in Kabul was actively pursuing the matter with Afghan authorities to secure the reporter's freedom.

Commenting on the allegations levelled against Pakistani diplomats in Britain, Aslam said the wives of the two diplomats in question had levelled those allegations in order to secure political asylum.

Answering a question, the spokesperson said Pakistan sought resolution of all disputes with India, including the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, through the dialogue process. However, she said, attaching any preconditions may not be very helpful.

She said the Mumbai attack case was under way while no progress had been made in the case relating to the Samjhota train attack.

Voicing concern over the killings of Palestinians in Gaza, the spokesperson said Pakistani missions in New York and Geneva were working to build up pressure for an immediate ceasefire.
