Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari today asked the international community to come forward and diffuse tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad.
Speaking at a dinner hosted for foreign envoys at the presidential palace, Zardari expressed concern that "prevailing Indo-Pak tensions could sabotage efforts being made for bringing stability and peace in the region."
"The international community should take stock of the challenges being faced by Islamabad and the ground realities," Zardari was quoted as saying by the Geo TV.
He also renewed the Pakistani Government's stance that "no compromise could be made with terrorists".
The envoys of India, the US, China, Britain, Russia and France were among those who attended the dinner besides Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
