'Pakistan has not been isolated after Abbottabad operation'

Speaking in the Senate, Gilani said that many countries have supported Pakistan in these "trying times".

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Wednesday said Pakistan has not been isolated after the Abbottabad operation and that the country is united on its foreign policy.

Speaking in the Senate, Gilani dispelled the impression that Pakistan has been isolated, saying that the European Union, United Kingdom, China and Arab world have all supported Islamabad in this "trying time".

Gilani said Pakistan must not allow its territory to be used by terrorists, as failure to do so will allow the West to raise more questions.

Addressing the Upper House of parliament, the prime minister added that he was informed by the army chief about the US raid in Abbottabad in which Osama Bin Laden was killed.


He said that it should be kept in mind that Bin Laden was not a Pakistani.

Stressing upon unity, the prime minister asked senators to formulate a national security policy.

Gilani said the armed forces have made sacrifices in the war on terror and are committed to defend the country.
