1 thank you for your letter conveying greetings on Pakistan Day.
The people of Pakistan commemorate this Day by paying tribute to the wisdom and foresight of our founding fathers in envisioning independent, sovereign state where they could live in freedom and realize their full potential.
The people of Pakistan also desire peaceful, cooperative relations with all neighbours, including India. We are convinced that durable peace and stability in South Asia is contingent upon resolving all outstanding issues between India a. Pakistan, in particular the Jammu & Kashmir dispute.
Creation of an enabling environment is imperative for a constructive and result-oriented dialogue.
I also take this opportunity to convey our best wishes for the people of India in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
