INDO-PAK 3LST

The sources said Krishna's visit itself would be a sort
of breaking the stalemate since it was a long time an Indian
foreign minister was visiting Pakistan.
It would also be sending a message to many countries in
the world which are keen that the relations between the two
countries improve.
On the recent visit of Krishna to the US, the sources
said Washington was impressed on the need for it to open up on
export of high technology to India. The Obama Administration
was sought to be impressed that it was necessary that between
two friendly countries there should be more hi-tech import and
exports.
On Afghanistan, there was growing realisation and
clarity among the world capitals on the importance of India's
role there, especially in the building of infrastructure,
education and women's development.
"We will continue to do our humble bit in Afghanistan
regardless of the obstacles," they said.
The sources said efforts were on to sort out issues
with other neighbours like China, Nepal and Bangladesh.
Regarding the issue of ethnic Tamils in Sri Lanka,
India has impressed on President Mahinda Rajapakse that he
should implement his promise of working out a political
solution at the earliest. PTI
