ISLAMABAD:

The prime minister’s adviser on foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz has said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Pakistan next year to attend a summit of a regional grouping.

“We are hopeful that the Indian prime minister will come [to Pakistan] for the summit of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) in 2016,” Sartaj Aziz stated at a conference of Muslim Think Tanks Forum of Islamic Countries.

India’s Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar met his Pakistani counterpart Aizaz Chaudhry in Islamabad on March 5.

Aziz said that the government was hopeful that there would be some progress in dialogue with India.

“It is premature to say how this process will go forward,” he said, adding that Pakistan’s foreign secretary would visit India whenever invited by New Delhi.

Aziz believes lack of trust between the two hostile neighbours is a major issue. “There will be progress on other issues if trust is restored,” he added. “This is a long journey and there will be progress if the [dialogue] process is put back on track.”
