Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi says Pakistan’s new foreign policy would “begin and end at Pakistan” and steps would be taken to bring the country out of international isolation.

In his maiden news conference in Islamabad today, he said the current foreign policy would be reviewed with specific focus on serving Pakistan’s interest.

Responding to a question, the Minister said he would focus on bridging the trust deficit between Pakistan and regional countries.

The Foreign Minister expressed his intention to pay a visit to Kabul to move forward on bilateral agreement.

He said the two countries share a future and geography, and we have to work together and begin our long journey.

On relations with India, he said a continued and uninterrupted dialogue is the only option for the two nuclear powers and coming to the table and talking peace is our only option. The Minister said we need to stop the adventurism and come together.

He said the Kashmir is an outstanding issue which must be acknowleged by the two nations.

He mentioned that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a letter written to Prime Minister Imran Khan had indicated the beginning of talks between the two countries.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi said he will listen to the US concerns and also put before them Pakistan's viewpoint.

He said bilateral relationship should be improved on the basis of mutual respect and equality.
