Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf on Thursday said the decision to open Ground Lines of Communications (GLOC) for NATO supplies was taken in the best national interest, in light of the parliamentary recommendations.
The prime minister expressed the views while talking to PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Deputy Prime Minister Chaudhry Pervez Elahi.
The prime minister said the drawdown of the “NATO and ISAF forces gets underway, Pakistan wants to facilitate the process in the interest of regional peace and stability”. He said peace and stability in Afghanistan was closely linked to peace and stability in Pakistan. The prime minister said Pakistan was partner of the international community and playing its leading role against forces of terrorism as a frontline state. He said prolonged deadlock over the issue of supplies could have hurt the country’s relations with the NATO countries, including friendly countries and brotherly Muslim countries such as Turkey, Qatar and UAE. The prime minister referred to the passage of legislation from the European Parliament that would enhance market access for the Pakistani exports from 2014 onwards under the Generalized System of Preference Plus.
