Talks with Pak should move forward: Foreign Secy

New Delhi, Mar 24 (PTI) India Thursday said it
expected the dialogue process with Pakistan to move forward
and that all issues of concern to the two countries would be
discussed.
"Our expectation is that this dialogue should move
forward and that all issues of concern to both sides should be
discussed," Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao told reporters here
in the capital city of India when asked about New Delhi's
expectation from the India-Pakistan Home Secretary-level talks
here next week.
Indian Home Secretary G K Pillai and his Pakistan
counterpart Chaudhary Qamar Zaman are expected to discuss a
range of issues covering terrorism andprogress in 26/11 trial
during their parleys on March 28 and 29.
The Pillai-Zaman meeting will be the first structured
bilateral secretary-level meeting on counter-terrorism after
the two countries decided to resume comprehensive talks.
Last week, Pakistan High Commissioner to India Shahid
Malik had met Rao to discuss the agenda for the meeting. On
Monday, the envoy also met Pillai in this regard.
More than two years after India had suspended the
composite dialogue with Pakistan in the wake of the Mumbai
terror attacks in November, 2008, the two sides decided in
Thimphu in February to resume comprehensive dialogue on all
outstanding issues.
