The Prime Minister stressed that the two nation states is the key solution to Palestine-Israel conflict which would bring stability in the Middle East.

He said Palestinians had reached an agreement with Israel over the two-state mechanism, but it has been constantly denied by Israel.

Replying to a question, Anwaar ul Haq Kakar said Pakistan wants normal relations with all its neighbours.

However, he stressed the need to resolve the Kashmir issue, which has three parties including Pakistan, India and Kashmiris.

The Prime Minister said Indian should meet the demands and aspirations of Kashmiris to resolve this issue.

About the ICC Cricket World Cup being played in India, the prime minister said like every Pakistani, it was his desire that the Green Shirts should bring laurels to the country.

He said so far, there was no practical proposal to visit India in this regard, adding India should have issued visas to Pakistani fans and journalists.

Sports should be kept aloof from politics, he said, adding on the other hand, they would have issued visas to Indians if the world cup was held in Pakistan.
