Kasuri links peace treaty with India to Kashmir |
2007-01-13 |
![]() On Monday, Singh said that he “earnestly” hoped ties between the two estranged neighbours would improve enough to generate trust and both can agree to “a treaty of peace, security and friendship”. Kasuri’s remarks also come just a day before his Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee is to arrive in Islamabad to review progress made in three rounds of peace talks launched in 2004 and extend an invite for a regional summit in New Delhi this April. Kasuri said Singh might have made his comments against the backdrop of progress made in the “back-channel” talks. “If that is the case ... it is a very welcome statement. But I would like to repeat, we must resolve all issues particularly Kashmir,” he added. |
