ISLAMABAD JUNE 10. Pakistan has reacted cautiously to India's decision to allow its aircraft to overfly Indian air space, saying the announcement was a step in the desired direction but more was needed to be done to de-escalate the tension. ``Since the ban was imposed by India unilaterally and Pakistan had only responded, we will consider similar action once the decision is notified to Pakistan officially,'' a Foreign Ministry official said. A senior Government spokesman accompanying the Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf, on a trip to the United Arab Emirates also said a full response would come after the official notification. ``These steps were taken by India unilaterally and Pakistan did not ask them to stop the overflights. They did it on their own and if they are restoring it now, it is their own decision. We have to look at things in totality,'' he told AFP by telephone.
