Friends of Pakistan Conference would be held in New York on September 26 in a bid to evolve a comprehensive strategy to provide economic package to Pakistan, Pakistan High Commissioner to United Kingdom Wajid Shamas-ul-Hassan said Friday.
Talking to private channel, he said the conference would be hosted by President Asif Ali Zardari, US Secretary of State Dr Condoleezza Rice and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband. G-8 countries, China, Saudi Arabia and UAE will participate in the conference. Short and long term strategies would be evolved to help Pakistan coming out from economic hardships, he said.
Commenting on the statement of British PM Gordon Brown urging United States to respect Pakistan's sovereignty, he said credit of this change of heart must be given to President Asif Ali Zardari as the President had persuaded Brown that such incursions are fuelling anger in Pakistani nation and the incursions would neither benefit the USA nor Pakistan in any way and the attacks are destabilising the democracy in the country.
He said British PM Gordon Brown was informed that Pakistan should be given the space. The allies have appreciated the Bajaur operation and if given enough time effective strategy could be evolved to fight terror, he added.
Responding to a question he said effective measures are being taken to put the country back on right track. From next year positive outcome of policies would start to come out and the country would be put back on the path to development.
