It is time for forget the past and move forward Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa
Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa said that it is time for India and Pakistan to ‘forget the past and move forward. He said that peace between the two neighboring countries will help in opening up the possibilities of development in South and Central Asia. General Bajwa while addressing Islamabad security talks here said that the possibility of regional peace and development due to disputes has always been hostage due to unresolved issues. He said, ‘I believe it is time to forget the past and move forward. General Bajwa said that an atmosphere of peace between India and Pakistan is very important for opening up the capacity of South and Central Asia by ensuring connectivity between East and West Asia।
Significantly, India said last month that it aspires to a normal neighborly relationship with Pakistan with an atmosphere free of terror, hatred, and violence. India had said that its responsibility is on Pakistan to create an atmosphere free from terrorism and hostility. General Bajwa said, “Our neighbor will have to create a favorable environment, especially in Kashmir.” He said, ‘The most important issue is that of Kashmir. It is important to understand that without the resolution of the Kashmir dispute through peaceful methods, no peace initiative in this region can be successful।
A day before General Bajwa’s statement, Prime Minister Imran Khan made the same statement at this place. Khan had said on Wednesday that India will get economic benefits if it keeps peace with its country. He said that this would help India to reach directly into resource-rich Central Asia through the Pakistani territory. He had said, ‘India has to take the first step. Till they do not do this, we cannot do much।
