India willing to hold another FS-level meeting with Pak

New Delhi, Apr 3 (PTI) After the ice-breaking February
25 Foreign Secretary-level talks, India has conveyed to
Pakistan its willingness to have the second round of parleys
but is yet to get any response.
India also has not heard anything from Pakistan on the
three dossiers given to it containing names of 34 terrorists
wanted here, including LeT chief Hafiz Saeed, with a demand
for handing them over and other effective actions.
Sources said India has told Pakistan that the second
round of talks can be held but they have to "come back to us".
The February 25 talks held in Delhi were an ice-breaker
after the 26/11 attacks when the dialogue process was put on
hold by India as terrorists from Pakistan were responsible for
the strike.
The initiative for those talks was taken by India and
were intended to discuss terrorism, which India says is the
"core issue".
India is still not satisfied by Pakistan's actions with
regard to ending terrorism but it conveyed to it that the
channels of communication are open from the Indian side, they
said.
At the day-long talks between Indian Foreign Secretary
Nirupama Rao and her Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir on
February 25, the two sides noted the "trust" deficit in the
ties and decided to "remain in touch and continue endeavour to
restore trust".
India had said that the trust had been "erased" by the
Mumbai attacks.
With regard to 26/11, India "acknowledged" that Pakistan
had taken certain steps to bring perpetrators to justice, but
"pointed out that these did not go far enough to unravel the
full conspiracy behind the Mumbai attack and to award
exemplary punishment to all culprits." PTI
