Pakistan will make no compromise on its Kashmir stance, and India will have to give up the region through negotiations or talks,| take your choice |
Addressing a convention on Kashmir Solidarity Day, Zardari claimed that Pakistan was ready to talk to India on all issues, but negotiations won't go ahead without the permission of the Kashmiris, the Daily Times reported.
"Kashmiris will be victorious one day," he said, adding that Pakistan would not back down on the Kashmir issue.
Pakistan wants friendship with all its neighbours, but ties should be based on equality and principles, Zardari said.
The president told the convention that the Kashmir issue would be settled on through dialogue, as the use of violence shows a defeatist mindset.
"Strength and victory of the Kashmiris lie in a democratic way and dialogue," he remarked.
