Pakistan Quotations | Page 3

The people and government of Pakistan are faced with an extraordinary challenge and we need to make an extraordinary effort to support them, ... What is needed is an immediate and exceptional escalation of the global relief effort to support the work of the government of Pakistan.

The path down which India and Pakistan have started to move with these tests is a dead end, and no one else should follow down that path,

When the time for such a conference comes, the involvement of the leadership of India, Pakistan and both sides of Kashmir is a must.

We plan to send (various) relief items, including tents, plastic sheets, mattresses, blankets, food items, medicines and medical supplies in a transport plane on Tuesday. It should reach Pakistan latest by Tuesday evening,

When I go there to Afghanistan or Pakistan, the question both asked - and if it's not asked, implied - is, 'Are you staying this time?' because we left last time, in 1989 in Afghanistan, and we sanctioned Pakistan from 1990 to 2002. So I think it's a fair question.

We are glad and happy for what Pakistan is now doing on their territory to chase terrorists and to arrest them,

There is ... a very strong inclination by the current conservative leadership of Iran to make sure they can live up to the same levels as some of their neighboring countries, and some of those neighboring countries, indeed Pakistan comes to mind, have the bomb.

I was happy with the umpiring in India last year, New Zealand is OK these days, and the only real area of concern is Pakistan. They seem to have a chip on their shoulders about their cricket there.

We invaded Afghanistan to find bin Laden. We found him in Pakistan, and we're still in Afghanistan. We need better GPS.

The critical point is not our preparedness -- the critical point is the cooperation of the Government of Pakistan at the borders.

Enron CEO Kenneth Lay has apparently just slipped across the border into Pakistan.

Did you hear this? They say now Osama bin Laden and his buddy Mullah Omar have left Afghanistan dressed as women. They dressed up as women and went across the border into Pakistan. I think they're going to make a movie about it. They're going to call it 'Some like it Jihad.'

Geraldo Rivera says Osama bin Laden is hiding out in Pakistan ... which means the most hated man in Afghanistan is now Geraldo Rivera.

We urge India and Pakistan to continue to act responsibly to avoid a conflict that can have no good result on either side.

We shouldn't avoid the fact that Pakistan has some misgivings about China's strategy in South Asia, and we need to strengthen mutual confidence.

The real threat in Pakistan, is that someone on the inside, someone in the Pakistani military or intelligence service, might be cooperating with the terrorists. It has happened many times in Pakistan and it is very hard to protect against an inside threat.

There is absolutely no scope for any third party intervention or role in as far as the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is concerned between Pakistan and India.

This tragedy has helped on both sides because people in Pakistan have had some misconceptions, but they've been greatly touched by Americans. And the Americans who have come here and worked side by side with Pakistanis, their attitude must have undergone a change as well.

We have sent our condolences via our chairman (David Morgan), who is with the PCB chairman in Australia for the Super Series. We have sent our condolences to the people of Pakistan and we are looking at ways of helping Pakistan's relief funds as well.

Yes we have decided to organize Test matches between India and Pakistan after every two years on the lines of Ashes.

Today we transfer this MASH unit to Pakistan and in so doing we are celebrating a new dimension in an old alliance and partnership.

We all agree in principle it is a viable proposal. The only problem is that Pakistan is hosting Zimbabwe from late September and we are still not sure if their tour will go ahead on schedule.

We will play the matches at a neutral venue in April this year and 75 percent of the proceeds will go to earthquake victims of Pakistan and the rest to the people affected in India.

What's crazy is that these groups, because they are a little bit more low key than Al Qaeda, they have been able to operate, in Pakistan especially, without hindrance.

The time has come, ... to try to build new conditions to improve and to build new relationships between Pakistan and EU in order to construct and to feed a new and long-term partnership.

The tests do nothing to enhance Pakistan's security environment. They further escalate tension and heighten concerns about an arms race in South Asia.... In carrying out these further tests, Pakistan has acted in flagrant disregard of international opinion.... The international community is united in its insistence that Pakistan should refrain from further tests.

People who have been to Pakistan know it's people are very friendly, but the shootings and the cartoon incidents may shake investors, including Chinese.

Our energy dialogue with Pakistan is going to be different than our energy discussions with India. They both need energy. They both have rapidly growing economies.

As far as Pakistan is concerned, the spirit remains. We want to resolve all important issues through peaceful negotiations,

You must keep in mind that Pakistan has suffered the aftermaths of the Cold War, and that Cold War had left deep imprints on our society. We were the worst sufferers from the ills of the Afghan war.

You must understand the environment in Pakistan ... this has become a money-making concern. A lot of people say if you want to go abroad and get a visa for Canada or citizenship and be a millionaire, get yourself raped.

Although no concrete changes have taken place yet, both India and Pakistan are simultaneously professing friendship for America and are indirectly cooperating with each other.

They are playing at their home, so pressure will be on them. Because whenever a team visits India then we try hard to win. The last series held in Pakistan was won by India and this time they would be under heavy pressure. We are very much confident and can win the match. We will play positive and aggressive game, if we stick to our plan. We have very good chance to win the series.
