ISLAMABAD, NOV 25 (DNA) – The unilateral and illegal actions taken by the fascist Indian government, violating the human rights of the people of Kashmir, are a continuation of BJP’s hostile and restrictive attitude towards all its minorities, as reflected in a 113 day long clamp-down in Kashmir, said President Dr. Arif Alvi, while talking to the outgoing Ambassador of Sudan, Mr. Tageldin Elhadi Eltahir, who paid farewell call on him at Aiwan-e-Sadr, Islamabad today. He urged the international community to persuade India to abide by its responsibility to uphold the basic human rights of all its citizens.

The President said Pakistan valued its friendship with Sudan and held the country in high esteem. He further said that Pakistan keenly desired to enhance the existing relations with Sudan in all domains particularly collaboration in trade, defence and economic matters.

However, the current volume of bilateral trade was not commensurate to the true potential, he added.

He emphasized that proactive measures were needed to enhance the quantum of bilateral and underscored that Pakistan could offer skilled manpower for banking, medical, textile and agriculture sectors as well as the development of infrastructure in Sudan.

The President appreciated the services of the outgoing Ambassador of Sudan in furthering the bilateral relations between the two countries during his tenure in Pakistan and wished him well for his future assignments.=DNA
