Pakistan and India should write joint history manual, say two historic European rivals

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Pakistan and India should follow in France and Germany’s footsteps and compile a joint history manual of their culture and war memories to improve bilateral relations, said German Ambassador Guntar Mulack while addressing the launch ceremony of the first ever ‘Franco-German history manual’ at the Alliance Francaise.

Mulack said that Germany and France had different cultures, languages and traditions, with a history of wars, and yet they had managed to make a joint history manual. “With similar cultures, Pakistan and India can easily follow their example, as human relations remain strong despite wars,” he said, adding that both Germany and France displayed reconciliation and friendship by making the manual.
