Islamabad: While there was a furore in the rest of the world following the execution of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussain, Pakistan had a low-key reaction.
Pakistan, on Saturday, described Saddam’s execution as a "sad event" which was a "poignant reminder" of the violence that gripped Iraq.
"The execution of former President Saddam Hussein, which can only be described as a sad event, is another poignant reminder of the violence that continues to grip Iraq," news agency PTI quoted a statement issued by the Pakistan Foreign Office said.
"We hope that this event would not further exacerbate the security situation. It remains our earnest hope to see peace, stability and reconciliation so that people of Iraq regain control of their affairs in a secure environment," it added.
