Pakistan wants meaningful talks with India, but conducive environment not being created by India: FO

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Foreign Office Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar has said that Pakistan wants meaningful dialogues with India, but conducive environment not being created from the other side.

During a weekly briefing on Friday, he said that Pakistan had allowed the supply of wheat to Afghanistan on humanitarian grounds. "But India has not answered in this regard for the last three weeks," he added.

He also dismissed rumours about the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. "Pakistan wants to establish peaceful and friendly relations with all its neighbouring countries, including India. Our ties are not good since the unilateral and illegal actions taken by the Indian regime on August 5, 2019 in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir," he maintained.

The Foreign Office spokesperson asked the international community to do more in checking Indian atrocities against the innocent people of Kashmir.

To a question regarding return of Pakistani students to China, Asim Iftikhar said that Pakistani authorities are taking up this issue with the relevant Chinese quarters so that Pakistani students can go back to China to pursue their education.
