He said Pakistan’s relationship with the United States constituted an important component of its foreign policy, the changes in the international environment since 9/11 warranted constant evaluation and assessment.
Naek, Gilani discuss political atmosphere
Earlier, Naek called on Prime Minister Yousaf Gilani at the Prime Minister House to discuss the prevailing situation in the country.
The Prime Minister, during the meeting, said that the political opponents who were playing to the gallery would not get political mileage they were hoping for.
The Prime Minister said that democracy and its dynamics were strong enough to withstand the pressures unleashed by those who did not believe in democratic ways and rather preferred backdoor-channels.
The Prime Minister said that memo case was launched by a man who was a foreign national and whose track record was well known since he had been for long engaged in maligning the state institutions of Pakistan in the past through media.
The acting President shared his observations with Prime Minister and said that the present democratic government was strong and would face no difficulty in scuttling moves orchestrated by those who are known as believers in political shenanigan. But the people of Pakistan were sensible and understood such tactics and would certainly support democracy as way of their political life, the acting president said.
Naek inquired after President Asif Ali Zadari’s health and requested Prime Minister Gillani to convey his best regards to the President.
This is the first interaction between acting president and premier Gillani since President Zardari was forced to seek medical treatment in Dubai.
