ISLAMABAD: British Prime Minister David Cameron wants closer ties with India and Pakistan, the countries which, he said, have enormous potential for mutual progress.

The British premier said he believed “time was ripe for the two countries to look even further beyond what divides them and embrace what unites them”.
“I know there are some who claim that in this part of the world, Britain will always side with India and that can be a source of tension. And of course, there have been accusations that in the past, countries in this region have been played off one against the other by the West,” remarked Cameron while addressing students of the COMSATS University on Tuesday.
“I am clear this whole approach of choosing sides is not just wrong. Its also driven by old-fashioned thinking,” he added. |
