Washington:
Pakistan on Thursday said India would have to "revisit" its policy on engagement with Islamabad "very soon", an apparent reference to the stalled dialogue between the two countries.
"I am of the view that Pakistan has been willing to engage, and I am confident as -- you know, two years down the line, I am confident of this relationship. I am confident that India will have to revisit its policy and very soon," Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told reporters in Washington during a joint press conference with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton following the US-Pak Strategic Dialogue.
He was apparently referring to India's position that it would not resume composite dialogue with Pakistan until it takes concrete action against those who are responsible for terror attacks in India.
And on Indo-US relationship, Qureshi said as far as India is concerned it is a sovereign country and has bilateral relations with Washington.
"We respect that. But all we are saying (is) that those relations should not be at the cost of Pakistan, and we are very clear and I think you're (Clinton) very clear on that," the Foreign Minister said.
