Nobody wants any country to have nuclear weapons.

Nobody will be allowed to use Pakistan soil for any form of aggression toward any friend or foe.

Pakistan is not about to crack down on terror groups or cut its military budget in order to build roads, schools and hospitals.

The nuclear arsenal that Pakistan has, I believe is secure. I think the government and the military have taken adequate steps to protect that.

Unfortunately, the American policy towards Pakistan is just to worry and express concern, and that is not a clear policy at all.

If a country is suspected of going nuclear, you need to understand why. Why does it feel insecure?

The overwhelming public sentiment in India was that no meaningful dialogue can be held with Pakistan until it abandons the use of terrorism as an instrument of its foreign policy.

Pakistan is an old ally of the United States.

I don't want to be a propagandist or say that Pakistan is just great. There are problems, but it is a much more complex place than we are given to believe.

It's Russia some people would like to get rid of. They are still afraid of our nuclear deterrent. We have our own foreign policy whether they like it or not.
