The Last Word: Shaukat Aziz; Reaching Out, Cautiously.(interview with Pakistan's prime minister)(Interview)
Byline: Lally Weymouth
Pakistan's prime minister, Shaukat Aziz, 56, was a top banker at Citigroup before he returned to his country to become its minister of Finance under President Pervez Musharraf. Although he won widespread respect in the role--Pakistan posted 6.5 percent GDP growth last year--it's unclear whether Musharraf will allow Aziz to enjoy any real power in his new position. Recently, Aziz spoke with NEWSWEEK's Lally Weymouth regarding Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Pakistan's prospects for peace with India. Excerpts:
How do you see the situation in Iraq?
We are hoping the elections will result in a representative government that is sustainable.
What would you like to see the United States do in Iraq--withdraw or stick it out?
As the Iraqis begin to manage their own affairs and peace returns, eventually foreign troops will have to go. If there is need for some insurance in terms of peacekeeping, the U.N. can play a role.
Would Pakistan send troops?
