ISLAMABAD, Dec 26 (KUNA) -- Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi
Friday said that China and Iran are perturbed over the current Pak-India
tension and would play their role to defuse it.
The ongoing tension between the two neighboring countries would benefit
only the terrorists who are hell-bent upon sabotaging the normalization
process, he said while talking to news reporters in eastern Multan city.
He said he received telephone calls from his Chinese and Iranian
counterparts today (Friday) and they expressed their deep concern over the
Indo-Pak tension.
"Both the countries are affected if Pakistan is affected as they are our
best friends", he said, adding that the Chinese FM would visit India soon to
play his mediatory role to ease the tension.
Pakistan is a peace-loving country and does not want tension with India,
said the Foreign Minister. He said political stability in the region is in the
interest of all. (pick up previous). (end)
