Washington : Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Tuesday said Pakistan expects from United States the similar kind of nuclear deal it made with India.
“There should be no discrimination. If they want to give such nuclear status to India, we expect the same for Pakistan,” the Prime Minister said in a conversation with Richard N. Haass, President of Council on Foreign Relations at a meeting jointly organized with the Middle East Institute here.
The Prime Minister who responded to a number of questions from the audience, spoke at length on variety of issues including terrorism and extremism, Pakistan-US relations, economy and the scope of democracy in the country.
Prime Minister Gilani said the government wanted to have cordial relations with all its neighbours including India and Afghanistan, considering it a guarantee to regional peace.
“With India, we want to resolve all issues including the core issue of Kashmir,” he said when asked about the relationship with its eastern neighbour.
The Prime Minister said Pakistan has good trade ties with India.
