New Delhi: After days of uncertainty, Pakistan has confirmed that its National Security Adviser Sartaz Aziz will travel to India on August 23 for talks with his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval.
"Yes, I can confirm that I will be going to India on (August) 23rd for talks," Mr Azis told reporters in Islamabad.
India had sent an invitation to Pakistan for the National Security Adviser or NSA talks nearly two weeks ago. The dates August 23 and 24 were proposed for the talks which are supposed to focus on terror.
Reports say the decision to attend the meeting was taken after a final nod by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who returned to Pakistan last night from his three-day visit to Belarus.
Since the Ufa meeting, ties between both countries have rapidly deteriorated. India, say sources, will raise the terror attacks in Gurdaspur in Punjab and Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir.
Last week, Pakistani terrorist Naveed was captured alive after he and his accomplice attackeda Border Security Force bus in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur. Naveed is being brought to Delhi by the National Investigation Agency, which has taken over his questioning.
