Pak still engaged with India |
The Pakistani foreign office has rejected a notion that the peace process between Islamabad and India was suspended, saying it remained engaged with New Delhi. Exactly a week after Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit`s had said that "at present the peace process is suspended", Pakistan foreign ministry spokesman Nafees Zakaria on April 14 said the door for negotiations with India was very much open." Zakaria said in response to a question whether the door was still open for negotiations between India and Pakistan at his weekly media briefing in Islamabad. He hoped that both sides would work out modalities for the FS-level talks. They need to look ahead and not think in terms of foreclosing any options. Both sides are in contact with each other. Once the modalities are worked out secretary-level talks would take place, he said.
