ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari in a clear reference to repeated assertions of “do more” by the West and the United States, has said it was time to get together and strengthen each other to be able to achieve more.
“It is time to bring to their attention that let us get together and strengthen each other to be able to achieve more…., Do more is not the answer. Achievement is the answer. Do more is just a statement”, the President said in a television interview.
The President said during his forthcoming visit to the United States, he would ask the US leadership what they have done for Pak-Afghan border issues and to curb extremism in Afghanistan.
The President said his dialogue with the US leadership would focus on the point what was their progress in Afghanistan during the last eight years.
“What we have done, see your weaknesses as well as ours,” he added.
He said Pakistan had suffered a lot due to war on terror, which had its roots in the cold war era as well as the campaign launched against the occupation of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union in early 1980s.
President Zardari said the Friends of Democratic Pakistan (FODP) initiative, which he launched in New York in September last year, aimed at bringing the world together and support Pakistan in tackling the challenges including fight against terrorism. He referred to the successful holding of recent meeting in Tokyo and said the FODP forum was a vehicle to get the regional countries as well as the world community together to face the challenges.
