Islamabad: Pakistan and India on Wednesday agreed to hold a foreign secretary-level meeting in Islamabad on August 25 to carry forward bilateral dialogue process to establish good neighbourly relations, the foreign ministry here said.
Indian Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh spoke to Pakistani Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry over the telephone and they set the date for their meeting, the ministry said in a statement.
The two agreed to carry forward the dialogue process “in keeping with the vision of the prime ministers of India and Pakistan to to improve and establish good neighbourly relations,” the statement said.
The foreign secretaires agreed that the dialogue process between the two countries should be “result-oriented.” it said.
After the 2008 terror attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai in 2008, New Delhi stalled a bilateral comprehensive peace dialogue initiated in 2004 and the process has by and large remained in limbo despite oft-stated mutual desire to resume it.
