Indo-Pak FS-level talks by month-end

New Delhi, June 9 (PTI) Foreign Secretaries of India
and Pakistan will hold parleys this month-end to review the
status of bilateral ties and regional situation, the first
such exercise since their last meet in February in Thimphu.
This was conveyed by Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama
Rao to visiting Pakistani journalists who called on her,
according to official spokesperson in the Ministry of
External Affairs (MEA).
"Visiting Pakistani journalists called on Foreign
Secretary. Next India-Pakistan Foreign Secretary-level talks
in late June," Vishnu Prakash tweeted here.
"The meeting will take stock of the progress made by
India and Pakistan during series of parleys held at senior
levels on various issues such as security, water, trade and
commerce," sources said.
However, they said dates have not been fixed for the
meeting between Rao and her Pakistani counterpart.
The two countries had earlier this year agreed to
resume their comprehensive dialogue on all bilateral issues to
resolve all outstanding issues in a constructive and forward-
looking manner, two years after talks had been stalled
between them in the wake of Mumbai terror attacks.
It was decided that meetings at the level of
respective Secretaries will be convened on counter-terrorism
(including progress on Mumbai trial), humanitarian issues,
peace and security, including CBMs, Jammu and Kashmir,
promotion of friendly exchanges, Siachen, economic issues,
Wullar Barrage/Tulbul Navigation Project and Sir Creek (at the
level of Additional Secretaries/Surveyors General).
