the collaboration that pakistan has had in the last ten years pakistan has bit of a heavy price for that but it is also a fact that pakistan inhibits the region inhabits the region and will continue to have the street and this region has some serious problems the region has some serious problems but into terrorism and pakistan has always maintained that it is important to have collaborative joint efforts to be able to rid the street and rather than follow sort of unitary approaches. in how we want to rid the street and you mentioned. the price of your involvement in afghanistan has been pretty high many thousand of your citizens lost their lives millions of people have been placed there estimates that it cost your country around seventy billion us dollars but we often hear criticism about pakistan's or all. involvement in afghanistan from the american side do you think the united states

treats you fairly. i would like to answer that question by seeing the. two solid robust partnership is that each able to live or operate within the bounds of what is. believed to be you know what has been agreed as far as treating fairly is concerned i think pakistan has in this particular case not been treated fairly by anybody for that matter because pakistan continues to. continues to lose in terms of economic costs in terms of the social cost i think sometimes that is not emphasized on enough so we continue to lose in many many ways but some time the rule that is put on pakistan is rule which is understandable which defies logic so to speak because if the first country to benefit from is stable understands pakistan and the first country to lose from in you know until. understand is also

pakistan so pakistan stick a very high and that is what is commonly believed that yes pakistan sticks are very high but pakistan sticks are very high in having stability in that one is to not instability in the understand so we have maintained and we stated very clearly that it is really for the one people to determine what course of action they want to take in any way possible whether they want to have strategic alliance with country a country b. it's a sovereign country we must respect them as that but pakistan's rule in any way can only be there to support of i think seeing that pakistan is cause of the problem and is creating trouble is an imaginary solution it is an imaginary blame it is an imaginary looking for an answer but the real solutions to real problems have to be faced you know on the ground now as we all know that the united states has been taking on a lead role in this military operation. why do you think with all its military power and the resources that are invested into this campaign

a white anything. results are not that impressive as a few i think i'm not the right person to answer that question it should be somebody from the us administration i want to question to be right i don't think it is important whether the us is succeeding or is winning in the understand not what is important is whether of one the stand is when they were not because the goal of the u.s. and pakistan and the region and all the forty eight countries the top region of understand is to make of understand when if i may come back to the issue of american criticism for just one question president obama said on a number of occasions that one of the reasons why the united states is using drones to file for your territory and to hit targets on your territory is because the pakistani authorities are logically are not in control of that own land and my question is. why pakistan tolerating the use of military technology that are killing targets on pakistani land that ultimately

oftentimes lead to the. loss of life among the pakistani citizens this is one of the major problems that keeps us from achieving our successes in our view. not only completely illegal and under full and have north resolution to be used within the domains of international law but even more importantly they are counterproductive to your objective of getting this region rid of militancy. and extremism because if one strike leads to getting a new target number one or target number three to be you're creating five more targets or ten more targets in the militancy that it breeds in the for doing that it gets to the militants to attract more people to join their ranks we are to be in pakistan suffering from the consequences of what you know many other problems of the world decided to do in that region to rid itself of. a challenge that appeared

in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine which was the soviet invasion of one star now in trying to deal with that we have created certain groups which are to be. a challenge to everybody. so again do we want to repeat the mistakes again clearly pakistan doesn't think so and pakistan has categorically said that it is illegal under full counterproductive other any seen your view reasonable vanny is that pakistan could take in case of drone attacks beyond forcing its concern or distraction my question to you is it just an issue of some countries allowing greater freedom and greater perth or off foreign policy tools than others that would be a very unfair world and i hope that's not a world that we are moving towards and therefore the questions of illegality and unlawful is extremely important one. is the absolutely no compromise in

pakistan if you look as i've said i think this is partially one of the major reasons which is responsible for review of today and pakistan as a country. considers itself to be a sovereign country considers to be an independent country has therefore decided. the whole terms of engagement because it is very clear that this is not part of the terms of engagement now if that clarity is required elsewhere i guess the parliament will be in its right to be able to define it but these the approach they need to be taking is not that of a confrontation the putative be taking is that for doing the partnership which is which is based on mutual respect and based on mutual interest just last week. and her reports was leaked to the media that pakistani security forces and maintaining contacts with. terrorism and extremist organizations that are operating

in afghanistan as far as i understand there was. an allegation that they're supporting them financially. is this true first of all this is not a new to report we were told by need to actually. that this is a. single person not need to report but is single country and a single person and pretty much. all the bottle because this is not an accusation or allegation that has been made and part of the specific context the dimension where with the taliban of all turning teligent agencies i think every intelligence agency in the world particularly the ones which are working in advance and maintain with one group or the other and all of them at some level and these guys are now pretty much out in the open because people are openly talking about talking to these but i think just creating you know this is something which is not even worth a comment quite frankly the united states is expected to withdraw its troops from afghanistan and a matter of

a few years is pakistan looking forward to that. but you see again the game here with some goals and objectives we would hope that most of those goals and objectives are met or at least partially met and we would hope that when they leave in the understand of one son is a better place than when they first came but the long term presence of foreign troops in the region is always always counterproductive yes but we would also be very very mindful of what is the situation on the ground when they leave because instability more instability is clearly something that this region cannot afford i'd like to switch gears a little bit and ask you about iran you know the west. piling its pressure on that country which is your neighbor and longtime partner. how pakistan of us born in the case of military strike against iran we would strongly.

countries to desist from any option which is military because this region has already seen too much and we do not want any further destabilization we feel very strongly that these things can be settled on the negotiation table that there should be flexibility and that dialogue should be considered to be don't leave your forward and it would have disastrous let me go to pakistan feels it would have disastrous results for the region what about syria do you support the military intervention accounts to side regime we support no military intervention against any regime because we feel that independent sovereign the golden integrity of the country are important aspects and there in shined in many many places now what we need to ensure the international community is is that violence from any side is not given is not allowed to. move forward thank you very much for a time minister thank you.
