NEW DELHI:
High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit said on Sunday that Pakistan
would hold talks with the new Indian government for the resolution of
issues and disputes between the two countries for lasting peace.
Talking to Indian media, the high commissioner said that Pakistan is looking forward to engaging with India's next prime minister and any government which comes to power, and hopes the two countries do not lose much time in this process.
Basit expressed hope that the upcoming Indian government would give a positive response to Nawaz Sharif's vision and would help remove all irritants on permanent basis.
"Pakistan looks forward to the point when a new government takes over in India and, obviously, it is not for us to say who should be the next prime minister or the next government," Basit said.
"It is for the people of India to decide. We would be willingly and readily engaging with that government. At the same time, we hope that we will not lose much time in this process.” (Monitoring Desk)
