London:
Pledging to dismantle terrorist cells, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Asif Ali Zardari said at a conference in London on Friday that he agreed ",with the statement of Indian Prime Minister supporting an autonomous Kashmir running much of its own affairs.",
",A commission can be established between the two countries and leaders of Kashmir themselves to work out what should be done in foreign and defence affairs,", he said in a statement read out at the conference on India and Pakistan.
In the dramatic statement - his first outlining the ruling party's India policy - Zardari also promised not to allow slow progress on Kashmir to impede work in ",other cooperative matters",.
Zardari said Pakistanis ",agree that a very serious danger to the (India-Pakistan) peace process comes from militants and terrorists.",
",Therefore the challenge for us is to dismantle the militant cells so that they cannot hold the foreign policies of two independent nations hostage to their acts of terrorism. Trade instead of conflict, ladies and gentlemen!", declared the husband of slain former premier Benazir Bhutto.
",The PPP has made trade, not conflict with India, a top priority of its relations with India. Sixty years of freedom is a long enough period to mature us to change our direction dramatically,", he added.
