A Pakistani diplomatic mission has wrapped up a two-week long trip to Western capitals aimed at presenting Pakistan's viewpoint on recent clashes with India. DW met with the delegates in Brussels.
00:00We've achieved a ceasefire, but we haven't achieved peace.
00:25The Prime Minister gave us this responsibility.
00:28We should pitch peace internationally.
00:33And just as the international community played their role in helping us achieve the ceasefire,
00:38we should encourage them to help us work towards a more permanent peace in South Asia
00:44through dialogue and diplomacy, through a comprehensive dialogue that covers all issues.
00:58The Prime Minister
01:05I want to say many words,
01:10who have been attacked,
01:14who have been attacked by the participants,
01:19and the leaders of the war,
01:23will be a great victory to their sins.

02:45Those militants sometimes are called terrorists but they are militants there is no doubt.
02:50Pakistan believes that we are in an untenable situation today.
03:03We have no dispute mechanisms, resolution mechanisms between India and Pakistan to nuclear armed powers.
03:09No to the United Nations, no to the UN Security Council, no to bilateral dialogue, no to mediated dialogue, no to an independent inquiry.
03:16And the last remaining dispute resolution mechanism, the Indus Water Treaty, no to that as well.
03:21If we are going to leave the fate of our two countries to these nameless, faceless terrorist groups.
03:27We are jamming the new generation of India and Pakistan to a horrible horrible fate.
03:33That is not a fate that I would like to see people on either side of the border in.
