PAKISTAN Peoples Party Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has expressed readiness to set aside the Kashmir issue and improve relation with India. Talking to an Indian news television while giving an interview yet to be telecasted, he emphasized that the relations between India and Pakistan should not be held "hostage" to the Kashmir issue and that the two countries "can wait" so that future generations resolve the dispute in a mature manner and in an atmosphere of "trust."
"The idea is that we feel for Kashmir, the PPP has always felt for Kashmir. We have a strong Kashmir policy. We have always had one," he said.
"We can agree to disagree on everything," Zardari said expressing his will to break the barriers and mindsets that deter ties between the two neighboring countries.
Noting that India and Pakistan could "agree to disagree on (the UN resolutions)," he said, "We can wait. We can be patient till everybody grows up further. Maybe the coming generation grows up even further and then let's interact as human beings and come to a position of love."
Asked if his party would be willing to put aside the Kashmir issue just as India and China had set aside their border dispute to focus on other aspects of their ties, Zardari said "exactly."
"As it is, it's going to be a no-border world in the end." the PPP Co-Chairman concluded.
