The Biden administration is likely to be pragmatic in its dealings with Pakistan, pressing Islamabad to act on terrorism related issues and support America's endeavours for peace in Afghanistan, according to a former top Pakistani diplomat.

Supporting India's determination that "talks and terror" cannot go together, a former top Pakistani diplomat has said another high-level meeting between the two countries would be fruitless unless Islamabad ensures the terrorist infrastructure on its territory or territories under its occupation is dismantled.

It is telling that no country, including China, has spoken out in favour of Pakistan after India's air strike on a terror camp in the country, a former Pakistani envoy to the US said Tuesday, asserting that it was reflective that the world's patience on terrorist safe havens is running thin.

Pakistan should become a "trading nation rather than a warrior nation" while ensuring it does not turn into China's pawn, Islamabad's former envoy to the US, Husain Haqqani said.

The police in Pakistan have registered cases against the country's former envoy to the US, Husain Haqqani, for allegedly giving hate speeches and writing books and articles defaming the military and the government.

Pakistan's "obsession" to match India in military strength and efforts to equalise the field with "crazies" like Hafiz Saeed, would only create hatred which will bite it back, former Pakistan Ambassador to US Husain Haqqani has said.

Amid growing global concern over safety of Pakistan's nuclear arsenals, India on Thursday said battlefield atomic weapons of that country were at the heart of such apprehensions.

Pakistan should prosecute those responsible for attacks in India instead of simply placing some under house arrest and allowing others to roam free and deliver speeches, a former diplomat of the country Husain Haqqani has said.

Pakistan is the only country in the world that publicly says that its nukes exist solely for defence against a specific country - India.

Pakistan's involvement with jihadi terror groups at the highest level, aimed at using against India in Jammu and Kashmir, has backfired, Pakistan's ex-diplomat Husain Haqqani said today following the deadly terror attack in Lahore.

Pakistan no longer enjoys international support on Kashmir, a former Pakistani envoy to the US has said.

One of the most articulate and outspoken voices from Pakistan, former diplomat Husain Haqqani, says Islamabad's doublespeak on terror continues despite the Peshawar shock, and what India can really do, in an interview to Nidhi Razdan on NDTV's 'Left, Right and Centre'.

US President Barack Obama did not offer to nudge India towards negotiations on the Kashmir issue in 2009 in lieu of Pakistan ending support to terror groups like LeT and Taliban, a former White House official has said.

Former Foreign Secretary Riaz Khokhar is tipped to replace Sherry Rehman as Pakistan's Ambassador to the US, according to a media report today.

Sherry Rehman, Pakistan's envoy to the US, today resigned following the defeat of the Pakistan People's Party in last week's general elections.
