Nawaz visits 10 Downing Street on way to UN General Assembly
41
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif met his British counterpart David Cameron on Wednesday as the two leaders exchanged views on issues of global and regional importance, including the situation in Afghanistan.
Nawaz is currently in London, while on his way to New York to attend the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), read an official communiqué issued from Pakistan High Commission London.
Upon his arrival at 10 Downing Street, the premier was received by David Cameron as both leaders expressed satisfaction on the overall trajectory of the bilateral relations between the two sides and discussed ways to further strengthen cooperation in various areas of mutual interest.
Nawaz stated that Pakistan and UK enjoyed close and cordial relations in diverse fields including trade, commerce, education, security and defence. He also highlighted that the presence of a large number of Pakistanis in the UK acted as a bridge between the two countries.
The premier reiterated Pakistan’s desire to have good relations with all its neighbours in line with his vision. He also highlighted Pakistan’s important role and sacrifices in the fight against terrorism.
Cameron welcomed Pakistan’s policies for a peaceful neighbourhood and appreciated the country’s role in the fight against militancy and terrorism.
Pakistan to apprise UN of Indian subversive activities
Pakistan has taken a decision in principle to raise the issue of Indian subversive activities in Pakistan at the United Nations.
According to a report published by Radio Pakistan’s website, the relevant authorities are working out a mechanism to effectively present Pakistan's case on Indian interference at the world body.
It said Pakistan has concrete evidence of Indian involvement in acts of terrorism in the country, and that Pakistan does not respond to the Indian propaganda campaign rather it has solid proof against New Delhi.
The reports further said that “Pakistan desires normalisation of relations with India and the purpose of highlighting the Indian interference at the world forum is to stop India from mischief and aggression”.
Pakistan does not send non-state actors to India rather it has started an unflinching campaign to purge the homeland from terrorist elements, it added.

@ Patti - Do you mean to say PM should have missed the UN General Assembly's session where all National representatives would be present
@ Ifti and what other forum would be appropriate for discussing Kashmir, if not at UN? Discussing Kashmir is discussing peace and stability and thus development in the region. Kashmir issue is very important for Pakistan, it is not an issue that stands in isolation, but connected to a lot of things.

Way to go Nawaz you are such a big gift, Pakistan has landed in safe hnads now. Go on Nawaz and keep on doing good. People have recognized Allegation makers vs infrastructure and performer.

Welcome to US. After long time there is some respite for Pakistan. we are hearing some good news about Pakistan, it feels so good. Pakistanis are admiring your unfathomable efforts to restrict terrorism and even our friends here do appreciate it. We also heard about some positive ratings about Pakistan and infrastructure development.we are strangled here in US but to see some good news gives some breath of fresh air. One key advise for you is to visit other countries like Holland, Australia, Newzealand and other countries which you have not visited, there is lots of potential there. As a P.M there should be more focus over foreign policies and strategies with visits, this leads to financial opportunity, do focus over visiting few more countries this year with special focus over targeting countries where you have not visited as yet.

Sober and decent personality engulfed with making big decisions that has turned the fate of country upside down. How well he tackled abuses, allegations and how well he put that behind for country sake and made Pakistan even more a prosper nation, is one a lesson to learn. See the agitator's fate, nowadays is making alliances with smaller parties to have some redemption, once he was a force to reckon with, but such a massive let down even for KPK people. Agitator vs performer, easy choice for people.

Our claim on Kashmir is dodgy and based on demographic majority which resulted from 500 years of genocide of Hindus. In 1947 Kashmir did not join either Pakistan or India, it was independent but it was our armed invasion which gave a chance to India to take it, so we are the cause of today's problems. We should re-evaluate our claim.

@ZAK. There are now more serious problems in the world than in 1947. Pakistan should realize that by bringing the Kashmir issue, other nations will confirm that we wish to live in the past. The Middle East and Islamic State are the major problems that will be discussed. Attendees will yawn when the word Kashmir comes up, they have been hearing it for 68 years, and 4 wars have been fought, countless arguments taken place. So give this issue a breather.
