Singh hopeful about restoring dialogue with Pakistan
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 29 - 07 - 2010


Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Thursday
said he hoped talks with Pakistan will resume eventually after the
South Asian neighbours' last meeting ended on a bitter note over the
2008 Mumbai attacks.
Top ministers from both countries have met this year to reinstate
a peace process stalled by New Delhi after the 2008 attacks on Mumbai
by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba militant outfit, dpa reported.
The last meeting between foreign ministers SM Krishna and Shah
Mehmood Qureshi in Islamabad on July 15 ended in mutual
recriminations with both sides accusing the other of refusing to talk
about the conflicting issues.
"I sincerely hope that we will sooner or later be able to restore
the dialogue to give it a proper sense of purpose," Singh told a
press conference after talks with visiting British Prime Minister
David Cameron.
Asked about his assessment about the July 15 talks, Singh also
blamed Qureshi for mishandling the press conference following the
discussions.
"I think the way the press conference was handled at the end of
the visit by the foreign minister of Pakistan could, I think, have
been avoided, because it detracts from a large element of agreements
reached between the two foreign ministers," he added.
"I can say we are too close to the events to pass a firm judgement
on the outcome of the recent discussions between the foreign
ministers of India and Pakistan," Singh said, adding there was
agreement on a large number of issues having a bearing on bilateral
ties.
