ONBOARD PM'S SPECIAL AIRCRAFT: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that Pakistan's sovereignty should not have been violated keeping in view the longstanding relations with the United States.
Talking about the Abbottabad operation by a US team of Navy Seals, he said the issue of violation of sovereignty was a matter of concern for Pakistan in view of cooperation with the United States in intelligence and defence.“There was no need to a shortcut or to bypass Pakistan,” Mr Gilani told reporters accompanying him on his three-day visit to France.
He said that relations with the United States had seen many ups and downs and it would take some time to fully normalise relations between the two countries.—APP
