Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said India will be benefitted economically by having peace with his country as it will be able to directly access resource-rich Central Asia through it.
Delivering the inaugural address at the launch of the two-day Islamabad Security Dialogue, Khan also said that his government after coming to power in 2018 did everything for better ties with India and it was for India to reciprocate.
“India will have to take the first step. Unless they do so, we cannot do much,” he said.
India last month said that it desires normal neighbourly relations with Pakistan in an environment free of terror, hostility and violence. India has said the onus is on Pakistan to create an environment free of terror and hostility.

Our only issue is basically over Kashmir, Pakistan PM says amid easing of tensions.
Pitching for trade between Pakistan and its neighbours like India, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said that the entire region would benefit “if India makes a move, if the Kashmir issue is resolved”.
The comments came amidst signs of a possible easing in relations a month after Indian and Pakistani border commanders agreed to abide by a ceasefire, including a visit by the first sporting teams from Pakistan in years and talks on the Indus water treaty next week. Foreign Ministers of both countries have also been invited to the same regional conference on Afghanistan to be held in Dushanbe on March 30, which could be the first such opportunity for senior officials to meet since 2019.
