New Delhi:
Ahead of his visit to Pakistan, External Affairs Minister SM Krishna on Tuesday said he will carry a message of India's "serious intent" to resolve outstanding bilateral issues through dialogue in a "terror and violence-free atmosphere."
He also noted that there was a "huge difference" in the bilateral relations between now and two years back when his visit had created "certain positive vibe", but there were some "questions that remained unanswered".
"I will take with me the message of serious intent of the government and people of India to resolve outstanding issues between India and Pakistan through dialogue in an atmosphere free from terror and violence," he said when asked about his expectations from the visit.
The minister also noted that the recent meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement Summit in Tehran, has "created right kind of backdrop".
