Pakistan says wants peace with India
Pakistan has signalled a willingness to open peace talks with India after an election fought in the shadow of renewed confrontation between the nuclear-armed enemies.
However in a possible warning to India, Pakistan also announced that it has conducted a training launch of a Shaheen II, surface-to-surface ballistic missile, which it said is capable of delivering conventional and nuclear weapons at a range of up to 1,500 miles.
"Shaheen II is a highly capable missile which fully meets Pakistan's strategic needs towards maintenance of deterrence stability in the region," Pakistan's military said in a statement yesterday that made no direct mention of its neighbour.
