Shumaila Andleeb
ONBOARD PM’S AIRCRAFT, July 31, 2008 (APP): Minister for Information and Broadcasting Sherry Rehman on Thursday denied the impression that Pakistan did not take up the issue of NATO missile attacks with Unites States, and said the country’s territorial integrity was certainly discussed with the President George Bush.
“Off course, the issue of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity was raised during a meeting with President Bush,” the Information Minister told APP about Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s meeting with the US President at White House.
Sherry, who also attended the Oval Office meeting with Prime Minister Gilani in Washington said it was out of the question that a serious issue of national importance be left out without discussion with the US leadership.
“That’s why President Bush in his joint press appearance with Prime Minister Gilani categorically mentioned about US’s support for Pakistan’s sovereignty,” she said.

Shumaila Andleeb
MANCHESTER, July 31 (APP): Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani Thursday described his visit to United States as successful and said its leadership expressed full support to Pakistan’s sovereignty and democracy.
“Whether President Bush or Obama, everyone in meetings talked about respecting Pakistan’s sovereignty,” the Prime Minister told reporters during his brief stopover at the Manchester airport on his way back home.
He said ensuring Pakistan’s sovereignty was the major focus during his talks with the US leadership.
Gilani termed the visit as successful where the top US administration showed support for Pakistan’s democracy and sovereignty.
He said the Capitol Hill had its role in resuming democracy in Pakistan as many US Senators remained actively vocal about ending dictatorship in the South Asian country.
The Prime Minister mentioned his interaction with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Senators, who he said greatly expressed their support for upholding Pakistan’s sovereignty.
He said the government believed in the policy of trade rather than aid with United States which would strengthen bilateral ties.
When asked whether the visit removed any misconceptions on certain issues between the two countries, Gilani said interaction develops mutual understanding, as in politics, “bridges are required to be made instead of erecting walls”.
“Pakistan and United States enjoy bilateral relations for the last six decades. With more
interaction, the misunderstandings, if any could be resolved.”
