INDO-PAK 3 LAST

"Both sides also agreed to task the Coast Guard of
India and Pakistan Maritime Security Agency to work on setting
up a mechanism for release of inadvertent crossers (fishermen)
and their boats on the same lines as the inadvertent crossers
on land," the statement said.
The group will submit report before next round of
talks.
Government sources said visa issues, including
multiple- entry five-year visa for people above 65 years old,
are expected to be finalised within six months and before the
next meeting of the Home Secretaries of the two countries.
Sources said around 150 Indian fishermen languishing
in Pakistani prisons are expected to be released by April 15
while India is expected to release 29 Pakistan prisoners as
soon as possible.
The Indian side raised the issue of Lashkar-e-Taiba
founder Hafiz Sayeed's anti-India statements, activities of
underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and other terrorists in which
the Pakistani side promised to do the needful.
The issue of Prisoners of War was also figured in the
meeting but the Pakistan Interior Secretary said that he did
not have the mandate to discuss the issue and it could be
probably discussed at the meeting of Foreign Secretary level.
Sources said if relations between India and Pakistan
normalise, the issue of allowing Foreign Direction Investment
from that country could be discussed at future meetings of the
two countries.
