Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif's UN speech: 10 key points

Pakistan, the 'principal victim' of terrorism
Pakistan has been the principal victim of terrorism including that supported, sponsored, financed from abroad. We will not allow foreign forces to destabilize the development of Pakistan. Thousands of our soldiers have lost their lives in acts of terror.

Pakistan wants peace with India.
Confrontation should not be our destiny in South Asia. Pakistan wants peace with India.

India's 'unacceptable pre-conditions'
India has posed unacceptable pre-conditions to engage in dialogue. Talks are no favour to Pakistan, they are in interest of both countries.

Independent inquiry
