KP won't oppose food supply to Nato
[Dawn] Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain on Wednesday favoured resumption of NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... supply but said only food should be allowed to pass through Pakistain. Speaking to Swat  ...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat...Press Club representatives, who called on him here, Mr Iftikhar said there should be no permission to the arms and ammunitions' movement to Afghanistan in NATO containers and that NATO supply should be restored for food items only.He said everyone would accept parliament's decision on restoration of NATO supply as it was the country's supreme institution. He said no state had the right to interfere in others' affairs and rather, all states were bound by international laws to honour each other's illusory sovereignty. "Our national interests are supreme to us. We will never compromise them with any international power, including the US," he said. The minister said Pakistain wanted good relationship with all countries of the world on the basis of equality and would greatly appreciate international support for development. He urged the US to reconsider its policies, especially regarding drone attacks, saying it's badly affecting the US image in the country and the world. Mr Iftikhar said the drone technology should be shared with Pakistain for better results against war of terror. Posted by: Fred 2012-04-13 |
