India and Pakistan should show some greater understanding : Zardari

Islamabad: President Asif Ali Zardari has said the time has come for India and Pakistan to show greater understanding of each other’s concerns and sensitivities and to “move beyond reiteration of their positions to more substantive results” in the peace process.

Finding amicable and just solutions to resolve outstanding issues was important for Pakistan and India to ensure lasting peace and stability in the region, he said.

Zardari made the remarks during his meeting with visiting External Affairs Minister S M Krishna at the presidency on Friday night.

Zardari “emphasised that it was time for the two countries to move beyond reiteration of their positions to more substantive results,” presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar said.

“Showing greater understanding of each other’s concerns and sensitivities would help in the solutions of mutual issues,” Zardari said.
