Pakistan now trusts New Delhi more than ever before and believes the Kashmir dispute cannot be a roadblock, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said on Monday. In an interview with Hindustan Times, she said both countries had never been this close in the past. “We trust India more in whatever we do. We are clear on this,” Khar said. She said although the Kashmir issue needed to be resolved, it need not be the point of start. “Our intention is to solve the (Kashmir) problem. But let us start with the less complicated problems.
We will deal with our differences in a different mode,” Khar said. On Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s much-anticipated but yet undecided trip to Pakistan, she said, “This only states the clear direction of our foreign policy that we will not let go any desire from India unattended.” Khar said it was time “we not get bogged down by the old mindset”. She said Pakistan was turning a new leaf. “Should the political mindset adopt or co-opt the military mindset? Issues are dealt with military mindset alright, but the problems are ultimately solved by a political mindset.”
