Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri Thursday said Pakistan was ready to show flexibility to resolve the Kashmir dispute with India but not unilaterally. Both the parties need to change their stated stands to reverse the status quo, he told the state-run PTV television in an interview. Kasuri denied any deviation in Pakistan's policy on Kashmir that he said was "disputed territory". India and Pakistan will have to make "strategic choices" to resolve it. A realisation was setting in both countries that a viable solution could be found only through negotiations and not by force. Pakistan has been proactive and all its efforts are aimed at trying to achieve an "honourable negotiated settlement" that is also acceptable to the people of Kashmir, the foreign minister said. However, he said, "We can only do what is doable." When questioned about the "inflexible Indian response", Kasuri said it should not deter Pakistan as it was seeking to bring about "a paradigm shift in the region" to help the people of South Asia who were lagging behind in development.
