Pakistan's Ambassador to United Nations, Munir Akram said on Tuesday that Sudanese government should be given sufficient time to fulfil its international commitments before taking any stern action.
Munir Akram, who is presently in Geneva, was giving comments to a private television channel on Security Council's decision to pass a watered-down resolution threatening "international measures" against Sudan.
He said that Pakistan was as concerned as anybody else about the human sufferings in the Darfur region of Sudan, adding President Musharraf had spoken to his Sudanese counterpart giving him a strong message to 'fulfill the international commitments of his government '
"At the same time we believe that solution of crisis is not possible without the co-operation of the government of Sudan," Munir said adding the solution of the crisis must not threaten Sudan's territorial integrity.
He said the government of Sudan was saying that it was fulfilling its commitments and should be given time but the Western countries wanted to take quick action. Pakistan was prepared to take quick action provided the threat, reference to sanctions was either removed or diluted so there was no enforcement action at the moment against Sudanese government, he said.
So that the Sudanese government has time to fulfil its commitments, he added.
