New Delhi:
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will make a statement in both Houses of Parliament today on her two-day visit to Pakistan and the recent developments relating to bilateral ties between the two countries.
"I will make a statement on my recent visit to Islamabad tomorrow at 11 am in Rajya Sabha and at 2 pm in Lok Sabha," she tweeted on Saturday.
A statement issued by the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry
had said last week that Ms Swaraj will make a statement on her recent visit to Islamabad and developments relating to ties between India and Pakistan in both the Houses of Parliament during this week.
Breaking the logjam in their ties, India and Pakistan had on December 9 announced in Islamabad that they have decided to
engage in a "comprehensive" dialogue.Capping a series of positive developments since Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif met in Paris on the sidelines of the climate summit about a fortnight ago, it was announced there that the
Foreign Secretaries will meet to decide the modalities and schedule of the dialogue.
The two sides came out with
a joint statement, which happened after Ms Swaraj
met Mr Sharif and later his Advisor on Foreign Affairs, Sartaj Aziz, on the concluding day of her two-day visit (December 8-9).
She was in Pakistan to attend a multilateral conference on Afghanistan.
