Pakistan HC meets Indian foreign secretary

NEW DELHI: Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid Malik Wednesday met Indian foreign secretary Nirupama Rao and discussed issues related to the February 25 Indo-Pak meeting.


Malik met Rao after his return from Islamabad where he held consultations with the Pakistan government on the forthcoming meeting between the foreign secretaries of the two countries.





After a 14-month hiatus, India on January 28 offered to hold talks with Pakistan in New Delhi. Pakistan accepted the offer last Friday.


However, there are differences on the agenda for the talks. India underlines that it would focus on cross-border terrorism while Pakistan says it would want to discuss other issues like Kashmir and water.


Pakistan is also pressing for resumption of composite dialogue, which was halted by India in the wake of Mumbai attacks of November 2008.
