New Delhi, June 29 (ANI): Pakistan has reportedly proposed two separate dates for next month's foreign minister level talks to be held in New Delhi.
Islamabad has given two sets of dates, July 17-18 and July 25-26 for the ministerial level talks.
Pakistani Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir is also expected to visit New Delhi in the second week of July to prepare the ground for the ministerial dialogue between Pakistan's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar and External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna.
It is learnt that both sides have zeroed down for holding talks on July 25-26. However, there is no official conformation of the dates.
Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan last week met in Islamabad and held discussions on peace and security, Jammu and Kashmir and promotion of cultural exchanges.
It was during the foreign secretary level talks it was decided that Hina Rabbani Khar will visit New Delhi. There are speculations that she will be elevated to the ministerial level before her India visit.
The last round of ministerial level talks between the two nations was held in Islamabad in July last year when Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Shah Mehmood Qureshi and External Affairs Minister had heated exchange of words in a press conference.
Qureshi was later removed as the minister and ever since the post is vacant. By Naveen Kapoor (ANI)
