People of Pakistan will have to clear the concerns of the world and have to send a clear message to the world, said Ambassador of France Philip Thepeo. “They have to give a clear message to the world whether they need a terrorist environment with endemic economic conditions or an enlightened and peaceful future,” said Thepeo. He was talking to media after inaugurating an exhibition organised by department of chemistry of Bahaaudin Zakriyah University. “The decision of restoring relations with United States is of the government of Pakistan,” he added when asked about the current state of affairs between the two countries. “All economic and social problems in Pakistan are due to terrorism and we want to help it by all means to eradicate the menace of terrorism.

Pakistanis have already said NO to terrorism whether it is been done locally or imported in Pakistan by US.

Pakistan has a dificult choice to make. It has to decide whether to give up its hate mongering policies of the radical groups and adopt a policy of 'Live and Let Live'. Pakistan has to understand that its prosperity lies in it becoming a peace loving peaceful country. It has a very intelligent people who need to be employed usefully to make Pakistan an industrial giant.
I think the Pakistani people have already made that decision. Or at least the establishment has made it for them.
