LAHORE – Pakistan still sees ties with the West as an option that can be dropped when not convenient, NASDAQ quoted UK Defence Secretary Liam Fox as saying on Saturday. Speaking at the Brussels Forum on international affairs, Fox said there was still too much of a view in Pakistan that they could be partners of choice, but only as long as it suited them. He also said Pakistani authorities need to recognise that they could not use terror organisations as a short-term tactical weapon without a long term strategic cost to them.
