Pakistan High Commissioner in Dhaka Ashraf Qureshi has said Islamabad has not made any formal statement about the trial of war criminals in Bangladesh, reports UNB.
"It is the media speculation that Pakistan opposes the trial," he said.
The issue of trial of the alleged Pakistani war criminals had been settled through the Simla Agreement, he said.
"We have no concern about the Bangladesh government's initiative to try the war criminals here," the Pak High Commissioner said while talking to reporters after meeting with Law Minister Barrister Shafique Ahmed at his office in the city Tuesday.
Mr Qureshi said Pakistan fully believes in the Independence of Bangladesh.
