RAWALPINDI: The Special Assistant to the President, Mr. Rafi Raza, today [March 31] hoped that India will pay heed to the `clear and bold` resolution adopted by the fourth conference of Foreign Ministers of Islamic countries, calling for immediate release of Pakistani prisoners of war.

Mr. Raza, who led an eight-member Pakistani delegation to the conference, held at Benghazi (Libya) early this week, was giving his impressions in a television interview here. He said the resolution became possible because President Bhutto`s two journeys through the Middle Eastern countries in January and June last year had tremendous impact on their leaders. Mr. Raza said: `We put forward our case as best we could. We called for clear pronouncement ... on the immediate released of the POWs and civilian internees held by India. ...` News agencies [Meanwhile, as reported by news agencies from Rawalpindi,] the Soviet leader, Mr L.I.

Brezhnev, foresees good prospects for the development of good relations between Pakistan and his country. An article, `Pakistan on the road of progress`, released here by the Soviet Embassy, said that Mr.

Brezhnev ... made this observation on the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Union.
