Bishkek: Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Thursday—in an interview with Russian news outlet—stated that negotiations were underway between officials of Pakistan and Russia for sale/purchase of sophisticated weapons.
Rehashing desire for peace in South Asia, PM Khan hoped that his Indian counterpart will respond positively and improve Indo-Pak ties.
The premier once again reiterated that cure to all Indo-Pak issues lies in dialogue only.
“To use army and force for resolving outstanding issues is nothing but insanity”, maintained PM Khan while adding that Indo-Pak tensions will defuse significantly in upcoming months.
