Pakistan's foreign Office said in its last briefing for this year that, the nation is ready for resumption of talks with India and said as envisioned by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Islamabad sincerely adheres to the policy of peaceful neighbourhood and shared prosperity.

The Hindu reported, Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakariya said in Islamabad, that, “We remain committed to amicably resolving the Kashmir dispute and all outstanding issues with India. Unfortunately, our positive overtures have not been reciprocated by India. The United Nations has a responsibility to ensure resolution of Kashmir dispute and peace in the region. We hope that international community, particularly the major powers, will play their due role to that end.”

Responding a question on warning by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of isolating Pakistan, the spokesman said, “If isolation is that a country is at loggerheads with you and campaigns against you being isolated, do you get isolated? One should look at the bigger picture in the larger context in which things are happening. Look at the high political visits to Pakistan and our leadership’s visits to the important capitals.”

“Assess the political developments that are taking place in terms of important relationships that major powers are developing with Pakistan. Look at Pakistan’s economic indicators and the progress Pakistan has achieved. In this backdrop, the concept of isolation is absurd,” he opined.
