Indian top foreign official to visit Pakistan next week
NEW DELHI: India's top foreign ministry official will meet her Pakistani counterpart in Islamabad next Thursday as the two nations look to build on a recent thaw in relations.
"Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao will visit Pakistan at the invitation of the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan, Mr Salman Bashir," said a statement from the Indian foreign affairs ministry on Friday.
Rao will also meet Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
Qureshi has invited his Indian counterpart S.M. Krishna to Islamabad on July 15 as part of a process of reconciliation between the South Asian neighbours, who have fought three wars against each other in the last 60 years.
India broke off a comprehensive peace dialogue with Pakistan after the Mumbai attacks in November 2008 that left 166 people dead. The assault was blamed by New Delhi on Pakistan-based militants.
