Pakistan wants relations with India on a mutual basis and seeks the resolutions of all outstanding issues, including the Kashmir dispute and Siachen, through dialogue and respect, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said today.

Gilani made the remarks while addressing a gathering at Sargodha in Punjab province.

"I had told Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that dialogue is the only way to resolve all the issues between the two countries,"he said.

He also said that Pakistan will not compromise on its nuclear programme as it is the asset of the nation and it will be protected at all costs.
