Islamabad: Pakistan does not want another war with India over Kashmir, says Defence Minister Chaudhary Ahmed Mukhtar. He described the current status of bilateral relations as the “best” the two countries ever had. “We are having a very nice relationship with India, the best of the relationship we have ever had. The confidence-building measures are working very well and I think the defence of Pakistan today is much safer than five years [ago],” said Mr. Mukhtar, senior leader of the Pakistan People’s Party which heads the ruling coalition. Ruling out the possibility of a war on the Kashmir issue, Mr. Mukhtar, one of Pakistan’s leading industrialists, told Dawn News channel in an interview that the two countries had shown flexibility in their traditional stand on the issue. “Open up borders”He said the issue would be resolved only through the opening up of the borders and greater mingling of Kashmiris from both sides. “Today is the time for economic wars and we must prepare ourselves. There are other problems in Pakistan and India, there are food shortages, the oil problem, the electricity problem and these problems can’t be solved if we are at war with each other.” Pakistan, he said, was “trying to help India” in the economic field. “We are saying that we would like to buy gas from Iran and that pipeline will go to India, which is a big market. They will benefit and we will also benefit.” — PTI
