The minister said during question hour that the dialogue process with India had been initiated after a gap of two years, reported Associated Press of Pakistan.

Khar said: “The topmost priority of the country is to ensure uninterrupted dialogue with India so that the resolution of core Kashmir could be ensured.”

“There are a number of achievements regarding relations with India. We have achieved ground on trade with India. First time in history, the Indian foreign minister had attended the reception of Pakistan foreign minister in New York,” she was quoted as saying.

During the past three years, the Jammu and Kashmir dispute has been discussed during all bilateral interactions between the leadership of the two countries as well as at the foreign secretary levels.

“I raised the Jammu and Kashmir issue with my Indian counterpart at the ministerial meeting in New Delhi in July 2011. The joint statement of the ministerial meeting underscored the need for continued discussion of Jammu and Kashmir in a purposeful and forward-looking manner with a view to finding a peaceful solution by narrowing divergences and building convergences,” the minister said.

The MFN status could be a big step forward in strengthening trade ties between the two neighbours. Once MFN status is granted, Pakistan will have to treat India on par with its other favoured trading partners. India has already granted most favoured nation status to Pakistan and is treating it on par with other trading partners.

Pakistan Commerce Minister Makhdoom Amin Fahim had visited India for five days last month.

Currently, Pakistan’s exports to India stand at $300 million, while imports from India are at $1.5 billion.

Is U.S. Planning a Revenge Attack on Pakistan?

The U.S. 10 year alliance with Pakistan is a question of trust now.

The relation between U.S., Pakistan is facing an uncertain future and many in Washington are questioning is Islamabad a reliable ally?

Will U.S. ever trust Pakistan for its war against terrorism and al-Qaeda?

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Sunday called back foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar from the U.S. amid strained ties with Washington following an accusation that Pakistan was supporting the Haqqani terror network.

The gradually warming Pakistan-U.S. ties have suddenly turned sour in the aftermath of the September 13 brazen terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, which senior American military and government officials have squarely blamed on the North Waziristan-based Haqqani militant network, led by Sirajuddin Haqqani.

U.S. military commanders have accused Pakistan’s spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence, of supporting the Haqqani network for carrying out two attacks on the U.S. embassy in Kabul and U.S. military base in Afghanistan’s Wadak province this month.

This has prompted U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to warn that the U.S. could do everything it could to defend American forces from the Pakistan-based Haqqani militants staging attacks in Afghanistan, including operations inside Pakistan.

Panetta’s warning was followed by Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s decision to cancel his planned trip to the United States that was scheduled for September 16.
The killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. forces on Pakistani soil, paved way to the tensions between the two nations. It is a relationship that for years has been marred by mistrust.

America has been the blessing in disguise for Pakistan with their innumerable aid for Pakistan. The alliance between the two countries began in 2001, a joint effort to fight against terrorism namely al-Qaeda and Taliban until recently, Pakistan offered support for U.S. drone strikes in tribal areas targeting al- Qaeda and Taliban leaders which became massively unpopular among the Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, leader of the opposition in National Assembly, said that the present war on terror Pakistan was a result of U.S. using Pakistan in the most abominable manner and weakened it to the extent that almost all institutions are facing crises.

He further says Pakistan’s pro-U.S. policies have destroyed the economy, the living, and peace. “It will not be far from truth to say that America has incapacitated us by injecting the sweet poison of aid.”

There has been disquiet about Pakistan’s role in Afghanistan for several years now. After the attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul in 2008, Washington had pointed to ISI complicity in the incident. But American unhappiness with Pakistan has never been so directly expressed as now.

Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar went a step further and warned the US that if such allegations continue, it “will lose an ally”. And Interior Minister Rehman Malik specifically warned the US against taking any unilateral action against the Haqqanis in Pakistani territory. Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani remarked last week, the U.S. needed Pakistan in Afghanistan, observing that the Americans “can’t live with us. They can’t live without us.”
