Singapore concerned over emergency in Pakistan

Singapore, Nov 5 (UNI) Singapore today expressed concern about the state of emergency in Pakistan.

''The declaration of state of emergency is very troubling. It is a step back from the democratic process, which the Pakistanis were getting back onto, but it is a very complicated situation, not just within Pakistan, but in Pakistan's relations with Afghanistan and in Pakistan's relations with India,'' Singapore's Foreign Minister Mr George Yeo said.

''The situation is very complicated and we hope that good sense will prevail and that some kind of compromise will be achieved within Pakistan itself,'' he said in a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry.
