When asked whether Pakistan was disappointed that Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has not yet decided to visit Pakistan despite invitation, Khar said “I do not believe in the business of being disappointed. I believe in optimism and I believe that we still would like to host him. “We welcome him to Pakistan and we hope that within his tenure (he is able to visit Pakistan),” she said. “As I said, for me I look at it as a lost opportunity because there were two prime ministers who got along awfully well, who were able to set the course of a different dimension within this relationship,” “So one of them is a former Prime Minister now. So we hope that more opportunities will not be lost.” she said. PTI
