Pakistan, India should grab the opportunity: Qureshi
New Delhi, June 28 PPI: Pitching for "result-oriented" and "meaningful" dialogue with India, Pakistan said "environment" was right for progress on outstanding issues and the two countries should grab the opportunity, failing which both will be "losers".
Citing European Union and ASEAN as examples, visiting Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi underlined that both countries need to build on commonalities to tap the huge potential that has remained unexploited for 60 years.
"All political players and people in both the countries are supporting the peace process. This is the right environment to move forward," Qureshi said at a dinner reception hosted by Pakistan's High Commissioner Shahid Malik here.
Observing that the governments of the two countries should translate this environment into "practical steps", he said "if we fail to grab this opportunity, we will be losers".
