'Islamabad wants de-escalation,' foreign minister tells Pakistan's top envoy in India
[DAWN] Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi on Thursday told Pakistain's High Commissioner to India Sohail Mahmood ‐ who is due to return soon to New Delhi ‐ that Pakistain wants to de-escalate tensions with its eastern neighbour, Radio Pakistain reported.

Tensions between Pakistain and India had escalated rapidly after the Indian Air Force (IAF) violated Pakistain's undisputed territory following a deadly attack targeting Indian security forces in Indian-occupied Kashmire's Pulwama area.

According to the foreign minister, direct contact between the two countries was necessary to reduce tensions prevailing. He noted that the two countries will hold discussions on March 14 in New Delhi on the Kartarpur corridor, which Prime Minister Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems...
wants completed swiftly.

In a blurb issued on Tuesday, the Foreign Office (FO) had said a Pak delegation will visit New Delhi on March 14. This will be followed by a visit to Islamabad of an Indian delegation on March 28 to discuss the draft agreement on the corridor.
