Islamabad: Pakistan would not "sideline" the Kashmir issue and will not be "coerced" into an agreement
affecting its honour and dignity, President Pervez Musharraf assured his top Army Commanders on May
20.
Addressing the 85th Corps Commanders Conference at the General Headquarters, Musharraf hailed
the thaw in Indo-Pak relations but said "Pakistan would never sideline the Kashmir issue".
Pakistan stood for peace in the region and the peaceful resolution of all outstanding issues with India
including the Kashmir issue through a meaningful dialogue based on sovereign equality, an official
release quoted Musharraf as saying.
Besides discussing prospects of normalisation of ties with India, Musharraf also briefed Army top brass
on his recent meetings with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Prince Karim Agha Khan, special
messenger of King of Morocco and US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
