'No dramatic outcome expected from meet with Pak foreign sec'
New Delhi, Mar 21 (PTI) India has said though no "dramatic"
outcome was expected out of the Foreign Secretary level
meeting with Pakistan, the parleys succeeded in assessing what
that country's present thinking was.
"Let me put it this way that nothing dramatic was
expected in the meeting between the two Foreign Secretaries.
We invited the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan to come to India
so that we can start the talks, so that we could know what
Pakistan's position is," Indian External Affairs Minister S M
Krishna said.
Terming the talks only as "an icebreaker", the minister,
in an interview to Karan Thapar for Devil's Advocate
programme, said he was not "disappointed because I did not
expect much from that meeting."
"It was a situation where we were trying to size up what
Pakistan's present thinking is. There, I think, we succeeded
in assessing what Pakistan's thinking is... I think it is a
plus point," Krishna said. PTI PYK
