MANCHESTER: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Thursday said that Pakistan was a democratic country and it was fighting a war for peace, ARY News reported.

“Pakistan is playing a crucial role in Afghanistan peace process. We have helped the neighbouring country in the past and will do so in the future as well,” Mehmood Qureshi said while talking to media persons in Manchester, England.

He clarified that Pakistan would not act upon any other country’s policy. He said terrorism had inflicted humungous loss to the country.

The foreign minister said Pakistan wanted peace in Afghanistan and was not in a hurry to repatriate Afghan refugees.

To a query, he said Pakistan had urged Afghan leadership to pay attention to the issues of their own country rather than making statements against others.

To a query about the arrested Indian spy agent, he said, “Kulbhushan Jadhav was arrested from our land. Pakistan has presented Kulbhushan case in the international court in a befitting manner and will win it on the basis of solid evidence.”
