ISLAMABAD: Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao arrived here Wednesday to lead Indian side to meet her counterpart Salman Bashir on Thursday to prepare the agenda for the foreign ministers talks being held here on July 15.
The secretary level talks between the two countries are the follow up of the important meeting held between the Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani in Thimphu, Bhutan in April this year on the sidelines of Saarc summit.
Terrorism, bridging trust deficit, water, Kashmir and other important issues will be discussed to include them in the final agenda for the foreign minister level talks being held here on July 15.
The foreign secretary level talks will be prep work for the July 15 visit of foreign minister S. M. Krishna to Pakistan.
The Indian side has many things in mind to bridge "trust deficit" and these proposals will be put forward to the Pakistan side to include in final agenda for FM meetings.
Although, India and Pakistan's first secretary level talks since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks ended in acrimony in New Delhi in February this without finalising any thing for future. |  |
