ISLAMABAD: Pakistan said on Wednesday that as terrorism was a global, regional and local issue, Pakistan and the United Kingdom had a robust and comprehensive partnership, including on counter-terrorism. About the reported remarks of British Prime Minister David Cameron in Bangalore about Pakistan, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said,” terrorists have no religion, no humanity, no specific ethnicity or geography”. He said,”the terrorists’ networks, as the UK knows full well, mutate and operate in different regions and cities. The genesis of terrorism as a global phenomenon warrants close attention”.

Pakistan is as much a victim of terrorism as are Afghanistan, India or other countries, he said.

The spokesman said that Pakistan has done much more than any other country in combating terrorism. Our people and security forces have rendered innumerable sacrifices, he added.

“We hope that our friends will be able to persuade India to view this issue objectively and the value of “cooperation” in counter terrorism,” the spokesman added. (APP)
