KABUL Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Wednesday described as 'disappointing' India's claims that official agencies in Islamabad were involved in the Mumbai attacks, saying they would not help build cooperation.

Qureshi, who was wrapping up a visit to Kabul, said he expected more constructive comments from Singh.

'A statement of that nature coming from such a mature, such seasoned statesmen is rather disappointing,' Qureshi told a press conference.

'The Indians are not being far-sighted enough because if we want to get to the bottom of what happened in Mumbai, we have to cooperate at the operational level,' he said.

'How do you cooperate when you start pointing fingers? For God's sake, if you want cooperation, then stop the accusations.'

Qureshi reiterated that Pakistan was not interested in war with India but would defend itself if provoked.

'We do not want to fight with India, period,' he said.

'On the other hand, God forbid, if war is imposed on Pakistan, then Pakistan will fight back. And every Pakistani will fight back with full commitment and force of conviction. But we do not want a war.'

Qureshi was visiting Kabul with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari.
