Indo-pak Foreign Secretaries

Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar has cut short a visit to Vienna and this morning attended a meeting of top officials in Delhi called by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, as the government plans the next steps to be taken in its diplomatic and strategic response to the Uri terror attack.

Ignoring India's offer to hold talks on cross-border terrorism, Pakistan today invited Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar to Islamabad by the end of this month to discuss Kashmir dispute "as per the UN Security Council Resolutions".

In a sudden move, the foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan will meet today during which the issues dogging the bilateral ties including the Pathankot terror strike will be discussed.

The Pathankot terror strike has once again reinforced centrality of terrorism in Indo-Pak ties and it will be hard for India to treat the relations as normal unless Pakistan addresses the issue effectively, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar said today.

Pakistani authorities have lodged a First Information Report (FIR) into the Pathankot terror attack case, officials said today, after weeks of probe into the assault that led to the postponement of Indo-Pak Foreign Secretary-level talks.

The foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India are expected to meet next month and the two sides are in touch for finalising the new dates amid some "forward movement", a senior Pakistani official said today.

Ahead of Friday's proposed talks, Pakistan appears to be sending mixed messages to India about how far its government is willing to go in taking action for the deadly attack on the Pathankot Air Force base last week.

Underlining that there is "visible improvement" in Indo-Pak ties, Pakistan has said the foreign secretaries of the two countries will meet on January 15 to draw up a roadmap for the next six months to carry forward the bilateral engagement.

Foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan will meet on January 14-15 to prepare a schedule of meeting for the comprehensive dialogue, Pakistan's Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said even as he cautioned against "unrealistic expectations" from the talks.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz today said it would not be fair to expect much from the talks scheduled in Islamabad next month between the foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India.

India today said the date and venue for next month's meeting between Indo-Pak Foreign Secretaries are yet to be finalised and asserted that all bilateral issues are to be addressed mutually between the two countries.

In a significant breakthrough, India and Pakistan today discussed ways to resume the stalled dialogue process, sources have told NDTV. Officials say the idea is to move ahead step by step without giving any time frame.

He has managed to unite quarreling separatist groups, says Mani Shankar Aiyar.

Pakistan today reacted strongly to India's decision to cancel Foreign Secretary-level talks over its envoy's meeting with Kashmir separatist leaders, saying it was "not subservient" to New Delhi.
