War on terror cannot be won without tribesmen's cooperation: President
2009-01-25
President Asif Ali Zardari has said the war on terror cannot be won without the cooperation of tribesmen. The President was addressing a national seminar on main-streaming of FATA here Saturday, which besides the representatives of tribal areas was attended by Governor NWFP Owais Ahmad Ghani, Federal Ministers, and MNAs and Senators from FATA. Emphasizing the importance of dialogue in resolving the problem of militancy in tribal areas, the President said the government would promote internal and external dialogue through tribal representatives. He said the government will send abroad representative delegations of tribal people - under the auspices of Benazir Democracy Institute of Shaheed Bhutto Foundation - for interaction with the world community. President Zardari said such interaction of tribesmen with the world community would help the tribal people to sensitize the world about the nature of their problems and the need for their resolution.
