Pak looks forward to talks with India to resolve all issues: Khar* FM says environment for Pakistan and India now moving towards trust building
TEHRAN: Pakistan looks forward to upcoming talks between President Asif Zardari and Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of the NAM (Non-Aligned Movement) Summit with a desire to resolve most important issues, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said on Wednesday.
"We are moving out of trust deficit zone, and that is a pre-requisite for us to be able to really sit on the negotiating table and solve most important issues," Khar told reporters a day ahead of the meeting of the two leaders in the Iranian capital.
President Zardari is expected to meet Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on Thursday (today), which will be their second meeting in four months.
The FM said the environment for Pakistan and India was now moving towards trust building.
"All previous talks between the two leaders have been very useful particularly in New Delhi and we hope the same spirit would continue in Tehran," she said.
"As far as Pakistan is concerned, it is committed to moving forward beyond any other issues that might arise between the two countries," she added.
"I am very disappointed every time something reaches Pakistan through the media because we believe that we have been able to invest in this relationship enough to expect a call from any counterpart if any such concern or suspicion arises, because we have to move beyond this." app
