Confrontation not in interest of US, Pakistan

Former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi

has said confrontation is neither in the interest of Pakistan nor US and solution to Pakistan-US relations lies in political rather than military means.
Talking to a private TV channel, Qureshi said Pakistan had reservations for not being taken into confidence by US despite the fact it was ally of US in the war against terrorism.
He went on to say situation in Afghanistan was deteriorating day by day and peace process had been affected due to assassination of Burhanuddin Rabbani.
He said that allegations levelled by US against institutions of Pakistan were baseless and added that US had charged Pakistan with using terrorism as a policy. “We will have to present our stance”, he stressed. US allegations shocked Pakistani nation, he underlined.
