He was speaking at the concluding session of the three days conference of Pakistani envoys to important capitals and multilateral institutions in Islamabad on Wednesday.

He said other countries might also have legitimate concerns and we will have to understand them.
The Prime Minister said peaceful solution to outstanding disputes is imperative for durable peace and prosperity in the region.
He said Pakistan desires peace but this should not be misconstrued as our weakness. He said Pakistan believes in the policy of non interference and respect of sovereignty.
