Indo-Pak 'natural partners' to combat climate change: Qureshi
Noting that the climate change may have contributed to the devastating floods in Pakistan, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi suggested that India and Pakistan were natural allies in combating the problem plaguing both countries.
"If we need to look into climate change, can we do it alone?" Qureshi said, speaking at the Asia Society yesterday in New York.
"The most natural partners on issues of climate change are India and Pakistan. We share water...the Himalayan glaciersif they (India) get affected...we both get affected," he added.
Qureshi and Foreign Minister S M Krishna are here to attend the opening week of the General Assembly and are expected to have a bilateral next week.
Qureshi was highlighting the need to overcome the "trust deficit" so that the region could benefit from mutual areas of cooperation including combating terrorism and fighting poverty problems that plague counties.
