Next five months crucial for peace: Kasuri

11 Jan, 2004

Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri has said that the next five months would be crucial for India and Pakistan to take the peace process forward.
The agreement reached between the two countries to commence the process of composite and sustained dialogue next month should not be taken as a victory for one and a defeat for the other.
The media has to project this scenario correctly, the minister said in an interview to Indian TV Channel Doordarshan.
Recalling Agra summit and media hype at that time, the minister said it was decided this time to keep the process away from such hype.
"That is why we want that if the media desires for peace, then the next four to five months are crucial and they should do good reporting during this period," he added.
