On 8 September, 2012, S M Krishna, Foreign Minister of India, reached Pakistan on a three-day official visit. After reaching Pakistan, he said India wanted to create a peaceful atmosphere by solving solving all issues like Siachen, Sir Creek, water issue and Kashmir issue etc through dialouge. India relaxed visa restrictions to show soft corner in its attitude with Pakistan. According to the agreement, eight categories of visas would be issued. Five hundred Pakistanis would be allowed to offer pilgrim at Ajmer Sharif, while Indian Sikh community would able to come to Pakistan for their religious festivals. Special concession would be given to old citizens.
I hope ties among them will be good and strengthen with the passage of time.
