Newly-appointed Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Monday said there is a need to alter the 'direction' of Pakistan's foreign policy.
"We need to change the direction of our foreign policy," Qureshi said while speaking at the Foreign Office shortly after being sworn-in as a member of Prime Minister Imran Khan's cabinet.
Stating that Pakistan’s foreign policy will be reviewed afresh, the foreign minister said, "We want peace and stability in the region."
The foreign minister stressed, "Dialogue is the only way forward with India."
Regarding relations with Afghanistan, Qureshi said, "We want to go with a strong message for Afghanistan and will contact Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to schedule a visit to Kabul."
Qureshi also said, "Some powers were taking advantage of the vacuum created by the absence of a foreign minister and were trying to push Pakistan towards isolation."
