SRINAGAR: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Monday said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visiting Pakistan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting is a “good step” and hoped that the ties between the two countries will improve.
“Jaishankar ji is going to Pakistan for an SCO meeting. It’s a very good step. I hope both countries think along the lines of friendship,” Abdullah told PTI here.
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said he would like to remind Jaishankar that former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had once said, “Friends can be changed, borders cannot be changed”.
“Either we live in a friendly environment and ensure peace and prosperity in both the countries or live in animosity and create a tragedy for both countries. I hope both the countries try to understand each other and work for the betterment of people,” he said.
