MULTAN: Former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that Pakistan and United States must lay foundation of a durable relationship based on equality which could not be harmed by any single issue.
While addressing a public gathering here on Saturday, he said that the US must give weight to the numerous sacrifices Pakistan had rendered in the fight against terrorism.
Qureshi said that while he was a foreign minister, he had told the US leaders that the bilateral relations tend to ebb and flow over time.
He said that after going through law provisions, he was of the considered view that the US demand for a diplomatic immunity for Raymond Davis was not valid.
Referring to the recent statement by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding strained Pak-US relationship, he questioned: “I want to ask who was responsible for this situation?”
Qureshi said that he was still a diehard worker of the PPP and has no differences with the party and its leadership.
