Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, has called for improved relations with India, emphasizing the need for cooperation over perpetual hostility. Dar highlighted the importance of 'good neighbourly' relations and working together to address regional issues in South Asia. He also acknowledged the adverse impact of India's removal of Jammu and Kashmir's special status on bilateral relations.
