| CBMs have done well but conflict resolution stalled: Mush | | |
Islamabad, Nov 3 India and Pakistan have "done well" in implementing their confidence building measures but conflict resolution remained "stalled", President Pervez Musharraf today said.
Musharraf also expressed hope that the "spirit" of the Havana summit between him and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would reflect in next month's Foreign Secretary-level talks in New Delhi.
"CBMs had done well, regrettably conflict resolution was stalled," an official press release quoted Musharraf as telling the Belgian Foreign Minister Karel De Gucht when he called on him here.
"He hoped that the forthcoming talks between the two sides would demonstrate the spirit of Havana talks held between the President and Indian Prime Minister," it said.
Musharraf also expressed the view that "normalisation of relations and resolution of all outstanding disputes was in the interest of both Pakistan and India as both would gain tremendously in various ways. However we needed to move forward with sincere intentions." He recalled his recent visit to Belgium and his extensive interaction in Brussels both with the Belgian Prime Minister and the leadership and politicians of the European Union.
Views were also exchanged during their meeting on matters related to regional stability and security and contribution to tackling the problem of terrorism, the statement said.
On Afghanistan, Musharraf highlighted the "complexities of the situation (in that country)," it said. |
