Pakistan today pitched for security cooperation with India and said doubting its ability to fight terror in the wake of the recent revelations by the Abbottabad Commission exposing lacunae in its security establishment will not solve anything.

Pakistan's High Commissioner to India Salman Bashir, who was addressing a gathering at the PHD Chambers, said the dates for talks on various bilateral issues were being worked out with Islamabad looking at 'quick movement' across the board.

'Our government is settling in and I must say it considers India the most important track and we are for quick movement across the board in terms of relations,' he said when asked about Indo-Pak ties.

Replying to a question on the leaked Abbottabad report which came down heavily on Pakistani security establishment, he said 'let me say clearly that the version of the report that you see is a version and government of Pakistan has said that the report is yet to be issued'.

He claimed Pakistan has done a lot in the fight against terrorism.

'And I think that this argument has continued to be made about Pakistan's intentions or commitments. This is rather futile because it is something that is a demonstrated commitment,' he said.
