Indo-Pak talks didn't fail, one meet can't bridge differences
RAO
New Delhi, Aug 12 (PTI) India does not regard as a
"failure" the July 15 Indo-Pak talks in Islamabad as the
parleys helped in understanding each other's point of view on
matters of mutual interests and concerns and there was "large
understanding" on many issues.
"I would, by no means describe the visit of the External
Affairs Minister to Islamabad in July as failure. Because it
was not a failure. Our relations with Pakistan are complex,"
India's Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said.
Rao said the visit helped to promote understanding of
each other's point of view on issues of mutual interests and
concerns.
"There were differences on few issues and I don't deny
that ... differences cannot bridged in one meeting alone but
there was large understanding on many other issues," she said
in an interview to All India Radio.
The July 15 meeting between the Foreign Ministers of
India and Pakistan ended in sharp differences which was also
reflected in the joint press meet after the parleys.
She said Pakistan Foreign Minister S M Qureshi has
accepted the invitation of Krishna to visit India and mutually
accepted dates will be decided through diplomatic channels.
Noting the "slow" pace of the trial of 26/11 suspects,
Rao said it was India's "expectations, hope and desire" that
Pakistan bring the perpetrators of the terror attacks to
justice expeditiously.
On US President Barack Obama's visit to India in early
November, the Foreign Secretary said it was an "important and
definitive" visit during which the two countries will have
wide-ranging talks on bilateral and regional issues.
The visit will further strengthen the strategic
partnership between the biggest and largest democracies of
the world, she said.
In response to another question, the Foreign Secretary
said that the passage of nuclear liability bill will pave the
way for India to have nuclear commerce with international
community. This, she said, will go a long way in meeting the
growing energy demand in the country.
The bill is presently under consideration of a
Parliamentary Standing Committee, which is likely to finalise
its recommendations by next week.
On India-China ties, Rao said the two countries will
hold another round of talks soon to discuss the border issue
and maintained some progress was made in last 13 rounds of
parleys. PTI PYK
