Friday, October 3, 2008 at 2:10 am
With the US Congress giving its nod to the civil nuclear deal with India, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has indicated that, the country may seek a similar arrangement with its close ally China.
As Gilani states, “Pakistan will now make efforts for a civil nuclear deal and they (the world community) will have to accommodate us. Now that the civil nuclear deal with India has been finalised, Pakistan will have the right to ask for a similar deal because we do not want there to be any discrimination.”
Gilani also mentioned, Pakistan would seek nuclear technology and know-how from China, adding that Beijing and Islamabad had a “unique relationship” – that was a “time-tested and all-weather friendship”.
Commenting on Pakistan’s relatios with its immediate neighbours – India and Afghanistan – Gilani responded, “We should have a joint strategy to bring prosperity and progress to this region, and also to provide security to the people. Pakistan is holding talks with India to resolve outstanding issues and there have been several meetings between the top leaders of the two countries.”
