Commenting on British Prime Minister David Cameron’s remarks, which he made in India yesterday, Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that these remarks, coming on the heels of the three very successful high-level visits from Britain to Pakistan, are surprising, to say the least. The Foreign Minister said that the visits of Britain’s Secretary International Development, Foreign Secretary and Chairperson of Conservative Party to Pakistan had provided useful opportunities for detailed discussions on all issues of mutual interest, including counterterrorism. The Foreign Minister added that Pakistan’s achievements and successes against terrorism cannot be negated or belittled by the disclosure of evidently self-serving and skewed reports on WikiLeaks. We take serious exception to any suggestion that falsifies facts and tends to put the entire onus of terrorism on Pakistan. This is totally unacceptable, the Foreign Minister said.
