NEW DELHI
Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on Saturday said India wanted to bring composite dialogue process on track but such situation has emerged in Pakistan which has led to change the scenario.
As per Indian media reports, he said this while addressing a ceremony held in New Delhi.
“Positive vibes are emanating from neighbouring country in connection with composite dialogue process. But any haste on this count stands ruled out now. All the problems can not be resolved overnight,” he remarked.
“The Pakistani prime minister has suggested for initiation of composite dialogue process immediately. Thais is propitious move. But no miracle can be expected even after restoration of dialogue process and warmth in relations. The problems cannot be addressed overnight or within a few hours, he observed. I cannot expect any miracle to happen. We will have to move ahead slowly. We will have to wait and give time to each other that Pakistan wants dialogue in what environment,” he observed.
He said that certain channels have been activated so that door to dialogue is kept open. “We will have to improve our relations with neighbouring countries and better relations with neighbouring countries are in our own interest,” he stressed.
About export of electricity to Pakistan, he said decision has yet to be taken on this matter. Pakistan has proposed to import electricity from India while his country has decided that full-fledged assistance will be extended to Pakistan to pull it out of crisis like situation, he added. 500 megawatt of electricity would be exported to Pakistan in the first phase under which electricity lines will be laid, he said.
