Islamabad: Pakistan has said it was 'disappointed' over the postponement of the Indo-Pak Foreign Secretary-level talks and asserted that the peace process should continue as it is the only way forward.

Islamabad is 'disappointed' over the postponement of the talks, Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz was quoted as saying in an interview published today in a local daily.

"The peace process should continue because this is the only way forward," he told 'The Nation'.

Aziz said India should not have put the responsibility of the Mumbai blasts on Pakistan without any 'proof or evidence' because it would spoil the environment and affect the peace process.

He said Pakistan has not changed its stand on Kashmir.

"We neither changed our stand on Kashmir nor we will. Pakistan and India have to resolve Kashmir issue in accordance with the wishes of Kashmiri people," he said and recalled Musharraf's proposals of 'demilitarisation' and 'self-governance'.

"These proposals were made because Pakistan wanted to take the peace process forward," he said.
