Gilani urges world for 'more support, less criticism

Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Thursday said Pakistan was diligently pursuing the war against terrorism and urged the international community for lending more support in its efforts. Pakistan has hugely paid in terms of casualties and economy. We are fighting the war, which will benefit the whole world, the Prime Minister told a Chinese media delegation at the PM House here. The 19-member delegation headed by Wang Dongmei, Vice President of China Radio International comprised journalists from Shanghai Dragon television, China Radio International and Tencent web portal. Prime Minister Gilani said the war on terror was not confined to one nation but was a global phenomenon, which needed to be dealt accordingly. Instead of mere criticism, the world needs to show more cooperation towards Pakistan, he said. He appreciated the statement by Chinese leadership acknowledging Pakistans contributions in war against terrorism and extremism besides pledging to support it in difficult times.
