ISLAMABAD: Chances of the resumption of stalled dialogue between India and Pakistan seem more likely after two interesting developments in the subcontinent over the weekend.
One relates to the possible appointment of Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit as foreign secretary. The second was the meeting Basit’s Indian counterpart, Gautam Bambawale, had with Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
Earlier, Minister of Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal said Pakistan hopes that there will be a better environment to pursue peace talks with India after the state assembly elections in the neighbouring country.
