| Back channel talks between Aziz, Lambah in the Gulf: reports | | |
Islamabad, Nov 4 Pakistan's National Security Council
Secretary Tariq Aziz has held talks with his Indian counterpart
S K Lambah in a Gulf country, as part of the ''back-channel''
interaction, media reports here said.
Mr Aziz has since returned to Islamabad and reported the
details of his talks to President General Pervez Musharraf, the
daily ''The News'' reported.
The two interlocutors are understood to have discussed also the
visit of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Pakistan, but no
agreement on the dates was reached.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Riaz Muhammad Khan
has been making hectic preparations for his visit to New Delhi
towards the end of next week for talks with his Indian
counterpart Shiv Shankar Menon, amid hopes that his visit could put
the composite dialogue process stalled in July after the Mumbai
train blasts, back on the track.
Mr Aziz also briefed Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri on
his talks with Mr Lambah. The Minister is scheduled to visit New
Delhi for a private sojourn soon after Mr Riaz Khan’s return from
there for a wedding reception.
Meanwhile, India’s high commissioner-designate to Pakistan
Satyabrata Pal has reached Islamabad where he is expected to present
his credentials to President Musharraf next month. He will also be
going to New Delhi next week to attend the metting between the
foreign secretaries of the two countries. |
