The foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India will meet next month in Delhi to work out the details of the newly-announced comprehensive bilateral dialogue after the two countries decided to re-engage.
Pakistan Prime Minister’s Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, while making a statement in Parliament, said the secretaries will decide on the modalities and schedule. Sources said the meeting will take place in Delhi.
Mr. Aziz briefed Parliament about the recently held ‘Heart of Asia’ conference and his meeting with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj during which it was decided that the two countries would engage in a comprehensive bilateral dialogue.
Mr. Aziz said all issues, including Kashmir, would be part of the peace talks under the agreed formula for the fresh re-engagement with India. “It was decided that the two foreign secretaries will work out the details of the Comprehensive Bilateral Dialogue and the level of interaction in various working groups,” Mr. Aziz said.
“This dialogue includes all the subjects of the composite dialogue, with some additions,” he told Parliament.
