Islamabad: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has said he is ready to be flexible to
resolve the Kashmir issue with India but maintained that the vexed problem could be
solved only if the two countries displayed "pragmatism" and "flexibility".
"I think if there is pragmatism and flexibility on both sides, certainly there are
solutions which can be acceptable to both", Musharraf said in reply to a question in
BBC's
'Question Time Pakistan' programme to be telecast on September 6.
Asked how flexible he could be, he said "I can't really measure, but all I can say
one needs to be flexible, in discussions".
The details of his comments recorded on September 4were circulated by the BBC on
September 5.
Refusing to outline any specific solution, Musharraf said during the last year's
(2001) failed Agra summit he had proposed a four-pronged approach to resolve the
Kashmir issue which still remained relevant.
