"I want to say again that Pakistan has always wanted to have cordial relations with all neighbouring countries, including Afghanistan, India and Iran, but talks between India and Pakistan without resolution of the Kashmir issue would be fruitless," he told reporters here.
He said a solution to the Kashmir issue was the cornerstone of Pakistan's foreign policy, the Online reported. The Daily Times quoted him, as saying that the US was working towards understanding Pakistan's view on the drone attacks.
Gilani said, "all anti-Pakistan elements were terrorists, and had no religion or geographical boundaries."
