| 2008-06-14 |
| The government will continue its dialogue with militants in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) despite ‘enormous’ international pressure, NWFP Governor Owais Ahmad Ghani said on Friday. “The NWFP government’s peace agreement with militants in Swat is yielding positive results and that is why the federal government is going to make a peace deal with FATA militants,” he told reporters. Concerning US and Afghanistan worries on Pakistani peace talks with militants, Ghani said peace in FATA could not be restored within days, adding that peace deals required some time in order to yield positive results. He said the government had conveyed its strong reaction to the US regarding the airstrike on a Pakistani checkpost. |
