Islamabad, Aug 15(ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has expressed faith in democracy and said the Pakistan government will continue building consensus with all political parties to resolve crucial issues confronting the country.
Addressing the nation on Pakistan's Independence Day, Gilani said the parliament was on the verge of completing its four year tenure and that the country's political leadership agrees that it would succeed in stabilising democracy, which is a solution to all problems.
Gilani paid tributes to Quaid-e-Azam and other leaders of the Pakistan Movement for setting up the world's first ideological state through democratic struggle.
He said though Pakistan was faced with the challenge of terrorism, the entire country was united to thwart the threat.
He said Pakistan desired restoration of peace in Afghanistan and wanted to see it as a prosperous, stable and independent country.
Calling Pak-US ties vital, he said, "We are ever ready for cooperation with our friends but we will not accept hegemony of anybody."
He said that Pakistan was trying to augment its ties with the European Union member nations, including Britain and gain access to American and European markets.
"The government is in touch with leaders of Balochistan and the effort and desire is that a uniform strategy should be drawn in consultation with the leadership", the Daily Times quoted him, as saying. (ANI)
