Pakistan is an old ally of the United States.

Our frequent initiatives to normalise relations with Pakistan are not a sign of our weakness; rather, they are an indication of our commitment to peace.

I'm not a representative of Pakistan; I'm just an example that Pakistanis are different from each other. I believe it in my fiction and I believe it personally.

What happened in Pakistan was that people were told: You're all Muslim, so now you're a country. As we saw in 1971 with the Bangladesh secession, the answer to that was: 'Oh no, we're not.'

There is no more dangerous country in the world today than Pakistan.

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.

Sadly, Indians are not very easily accepted in Pakistan, and that has a lot to do with the governments.

Pakistani politics is complicated, and I think it's not something a foreigner can easily assimilate and understand.

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