Pakistan wants to turn a new leaf in ties with India 13 Aug 2007, 2039 hrs IST,PTI ISLAMABAD: On the eve of its 60th Independence Day, Pakistan on Monday said it wants to change its six-decade-long turbulent relations with India by settling all disputes, building trust and enhancing economic cooperation between the two countries. "It has been complex relationship arising out of disputes from the day of Partition over distribution of assets, movement of people and the Kashmir issue," Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said when asked to describe India and Pakistan ties in recent years and Pakistan's vision for the next 60 years. The disputes kept the relations "below normal", Aslam, who would soon relinquish her post to join as Pakistan Ambassador to Italy, said at a media briefing here. "We have conflicts, wars and tensions. In between we have had periods of negotiations and engagements. For the last few years, we have the pattern that there would negotiations followed by breakdowns, conflict and tensions and then negotiating table," she said. "In the last few years we have seen sustained efforts on both sides to engage in constructive dialogue process," she said referring to the assertions by leaderships of both the countries that there were intense negotiations "specially on the Kashmir dispute". "What we hope to achieve in the next 60 years is a neighbourhood where we have no disputes or settled our disputes. We would have economic cooperation. We would be able to take advantage of economic opportunities in each others countries. Like other regions in the world to have closer economic cooperation," she said.
