Dawn, Pakistan :
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has written a letter to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling for the resumption of the peace dialogue between the two countries, Times of India reported today.
A source in the Pakistan Foreign Office (FO) also confirmed the development to DawnNewsTV today.
According to the Indian publication, PM Khan specifically sought a meeting between Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York later this month.
During yesterday’s weekly briefing, FO Spokesman Dr Muhammad Faisal had
said-while responding to a question about the chances of a bilateral meeting between the FMs on the sidelines of the UNGA-that no decision had yet been taken on it. “We are engaged in the matter,” he said.
The letter from the premier is believed to be a response to Modi’s communique earlier this month to PM Khan, seeking “meaningful and constructive” engagement between the two neighbours.
The news report quoted diplomatic sources as saying that PM Khan in his letter called for the resumption of the comprehensive dialogue process between the two countries.
