Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has stressed that dialogue amongst the political parties is imperative to achieve political and economic stability.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Thursday, he said the PPP is making endeavors to convince the allied parties to take forward this process. He said our effort is to save the democracy and the federation.

The Foreign Minister however said it will be difficult for the PPP to convince the allied parties for dialogue with the opponents until and unless the court order of holding elections in Punjab on the 14th May is suspended.

He said holding elections in one province at this point in time will impact the results of elections in other three provinces. He said we support the idea of holding the elections on one day across the country.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the coalition parties are standing firm in backing the decisions taken at the platform of the parliament.

Responding to a question, the Foreign Minister said he will represent Pakistan in the foreign ministers meeting of SCO to be held in India next month.  He said we are committed to the SCO charter and this visit should not be seen as a bilateral one but in the context of the SCO.
