We will implement what Musharraf has said: Qazi

NEW DELHI, JAN. 21. Pakistan today said the ``huge steps'' outlined by the President, Pervez Musharraf, to address India's ``primary concerns'' would be implemented. It also favoured the resumption of a ``self-sustained'' dialogue between the two countries.

Pakistan's High Commissioner in India, Ashraf Jehangir Qazi, said the two countries were ``on the brink of a historic opportunity'' and this ``opportunity should not be wasted''.

Addressing the ``India Today Conclave'' here, he said ``it is important for India and Pakistan to address each other's concerns.''

Mr. Qazi said Gen. Musharraf's ``historic'' January 12 address was aimed at a ``revolution in Pakistan'' and ``it is a huge step by Pakistan to address what you (India) have said are your primary concerns.'' ``We will implement'' what Gen. Musharraf has said, he asserted asking India to ``take time to assess it'' and see whether it was ``just rhetoric'' or would be ``followed up by substance.'' ``Don't doubt the sincerity (of Gen. Musharraf)... Your concerns are being addressed. You will see its impact.''
