“If there’s one country that needs stability today it’s Pakistan. We have to bring more investment from China and strengthen our foreign policy to bring peace to Pakistan.
“We will try our best to bring peace and stability in Pakistan. We hope we will able to develop such good relations with Afghanistan that we can have open borders.

“For the past few days, I was portrayed as a villain of a Bollywood film by Indian media.
“I want good relations with India. If we want to remove poverty from our countries, it is important that we increase trade with India.
“However, the biggest issue between our two countries is Kashmir. The people of Kashmir have suffered a lot for the past 30 years.
“We should discuss the Kashmir issue with India. If they’re ready, we are also ready to solve all the issues through dialogue. If India takes one step, we will take two steps towards peace process.
