It appears you are making a good call once again: (REUTERS) Pakistan Finmin =4 Pakistan Finmin =4 Aziz said there was "considerable sympathy" for Pakistan in the international community and asserted that major powers knew that Pakistan had been forced into testing its nuclear devices last month after India carried out five tests. "There is sympathy because we had no choice," he said. "We feel that in view of this, it would not be fair to impose long lasting sanctions," he said. The Finance Minister said he and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had just completed a "very successful visit" to Gulf states but declined to quantify what assistance had been arranged to make up a shortfall caused by lost aid inflows. The United States and Japan slapped immediate sanctions on Pakistan after it said it carried out six tests. The cost of lost aid has yet to be officially estimated. Aziz said he did not think the United States would continue to argue at multilateral institutions against blocking fresh credits to Pakistan. "This would not be fair," he said. -- Islamabad newsroom 9251 274757 REUTERS * end of story * -courtesy mytrack
