Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri has said that dialogues have been started with Indian government on equal basis to resolve all issues while maintaining national integrity.
He said this while talking to newsmen at a wedding ceremony of a local journalist's daughter here on Saturday night. District Nazim Imtiaz Ahmed Khan, MNA Manzoor Ahmed and Tahsil Nazim Rashid Ahmed were also present on the occasion.
Kasuri said that the country's foreign policy "is based on national interest and there is no pressure on Pakistan" from any quarter, including US, in this regard.
"Nobody is giving dictation to us," he said, and added that national interest has always been protected while promoting relations with US.
He stressed upon the world community to fight unitedly against terrorism.
He said that nomination of Ashraf Jehangir Qazi as representative of UNO in Iraq was an honour for Pakistan. Kasuri said that all development projects announced by former Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Jamali during his visit to Kasur would be completed.
