Swat peace pact our internal matter: FO

Updated at: 1950 PST, Thursday, February 26, 2009  


ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office (FO), yet another time, made it clear to the international world that Swat peace pact, signed by Pakistan government with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leaders was our internal matter therefore all the concerns and reservations being voiced by foreign nations were baseless.

Amid weekly briefing in Islamabad on Thursday, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said foreign nations should not be concerned over Swat peace accord as it is helping government end terrorism in Swat.

He hoped India to respond quickly over the information Pakistan has sought in connection with Mumbai attacks in order to bring the actual culprits to justice and to reestablish the process of Indo-Pakistan bilateral talks.

FO spokesman said government is doing whatever it could for safe recovery of abducted envoys in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Basit told State Minister Malik Ammad will represent Pakistan at SAARC Foreign Ministers’ Conference in place of Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in Sri lanka.
