Indian foreign minister arrives in Pakistan for talks
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 07 - 09 - 2012


Indian Foreign Minister SM Krishna arrived in
Pakistan Friday for talks on efforts aimed at normalizing relations
between the two countries, dpa cited state-run Pakistan television as reporting.
During a three-day visit, Krishna will meet with his counterpart
Hina Rabbani Khar on September 8, and later they will co-chair a
meeting of the India-Pakistan Joint Commission to increase
cooperation, a Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
The two sides revived talks in 2011 after India cancelled a more
than 5-year-old peace dialogue after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.
Diplomats said that the two sides would review the peace process
and discuss issues like terrorism, Kashmir, trade and a possible
agreement on visa liberalization.
These talks are to be preceded by a meeting of the foreign
secretaries of Pakistan and India on Friday to finalize the agenda of
talks between the foreign ministers.
Other issues likely to figure are confidence-building measures,
the release of prisoners as well as trade and border issues.
"India is of the view that normalization of relations between
India and Pakistan should be a step-by-step process. My visit to
Pakistan is one more step in that direction and approach," Krishna
said at a press briefing this week.
Krishna, who last visited Pakistan in July 2011, is also expected
to meet Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf and President Asif Ali
Zardari.
He will spend a few hours in Lahore Sunday on the way back when he
is expected to meet political, business and civil society leaders.
