ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Friday said Prime Minister Imran Khan clearly presented his stance on relations between Pakistan and India, ‘but it takes two hands to clap’. “For peace within country, peace across the region is necessary. PM Imran has said it loud and clear that if Indian takes once step towards Pakistan, Pakistan will take two. However, it takes two hands to clap,” Qureshi said while addressing a press-conference after PM Imran’s visit to the foreign ministry. Qureshi said that for maintenance of peace across the region, a stable Afghanistan is vital. “Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has made some positive moves and now it is up to Pakistan to help the neighbours along the way,” the FM said.
