MULTAN: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said he did not want to waste time meeting his Indian counterpart, if the negotiations remained unfruitful, Geo News reported Saturday.

Addressing a press conference here at Multan airport, he said if the dialogues were meant to be fruitful, he would go of his own accord to India, adding but, he did not want to waste time in photo sessions.

‘We condemn the Mumbai attacks and a media trial of several people arrested in this connection, has been started,’ the FM Qureshi said, adding Indians talk about a Mumbai incident; in contrast, Pakistanis are facing Mumbai-like incidents on daily basis.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi said, ‘India has been refusing the mediation; however after Indian Premier Manmohan Singh’s visit to Saudi Arabia, I have been invited in Saudi kingdom on April 3 by the Saudi FM.’

He continued, if a friend like Saudi Arabia stands as intermediary, then Pakistan would go ahead without demur.
