Pak wants 'uninterruptable' peace process with India
Islamabad, Mar 24 (PTI) Pakistan on Thursday said its
peace process with India should be "uninterrupted and
uninterruptable" as dialogue is the only way forward in
resolving differences between the two sides.
"As reaffirmed by the Prime Minister Wednesday,
Pakistan believes dialogue is the only way forward. This
dialogue must be uninterrupted and uninterruptable," Foreign
Office spokesperson Tehmina Janjua said during the weekly news
briefing.
Referring to the agreement by the two countries to
resume the peace process that was stalled in the wake of the
2008 Mumbai terror attacks, Janjua said the Home and Interior
Secretaries of India and Pakistan will meet in New Delhi
during March 28-29 to discuss terrorism, counter-narcotics
measures and humanitarian issues.
"Pakistan will approach the talks with an open mind
and a constructive spirit... we look forward to positive
results from the talks," she said.
The Commerce Secretaries of the two countries are
scheduled to meet in Islamabad in April and this will be
followed by other secretary-level meetings, Janjua said.
These meetings will lead up to talks between the
Foreign Secretaries and Foreign Ministers by July, she said.
During a meeting with an Indian peace delegation
yesterday, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said wars are not
a solution and talks are the only way forward for India and
Pakistan.
Gilani hoped that the upcoming talks between the two
sides would help to reduce the trust deficit and build a
foundation for taking the peace process forward.
