Pushing forward the dialogue process with India, Pakistani Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani reached India for the talks on various issues between both the countries. Jilani has stressed that his government has given the mandate to carry forward the dialogue process India. He also stressed that Islamabad will support New Delhi in its fight against terrorism.
The agenda of the foreign-secretary talks had been fixed well in advance, but in the wake of the disclosures made by Abu Jindal, an Indian key 26/11 plotter with links to Pakistani militants, terrorism could become the main focus of the talks.
Jilani said that Pakistan will support India in its fight against terrorism and he has mandate to push forward the dialogue process with India which was revived only in February last year after a long hiatus following the Mumbai terror strike.
It is noted that Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai and Jilani will begin two-day talks on Wednesday. It is expected that many crucial issues like peace and security, including confidence-building measures, Jammu and Kashmir, and the promotion of friendly will be discussed during the meeting.
