Defeat is not an option for Pak in terror war: FM
2009-04-06
[Geo News] Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Sunday that no foreign military boot will step in Pakistan and our own law enforcement agencies and paramilitary forces will conduct anti-terrorism operation inside the country.

Talking to the newsmen at the local airport upon his arrival here, the Foreign Minister said that during his recent visit to Washington he conveyed clearly to the US that NATO will not be allowed to conduct operation in Pakistan adding that it is not acceptable for Pakistan. They have understood our point of view and accepted it, he added.

He said that US has introduced a bill worth US$ 10.5 billion for Pakistan including US$ 7.5 billion as economic assistance and rest of US$3 billion for military assistance. He termed it as a success. Mentioning a statement by US President Barack Obama regarding 'No Blank Cheque', FM said, Pakistan will neither give any blank cheque nor will accept it.
