India asks Pakistan to address concerns over cross-border terror
2010-11-25
(KUNA) -- India asked Pakistain to address New Delhi's concerns on cross-border terrorism in an "effective and transparent" manner.

According to a Press Trust of India (PTI) report, Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said on Wednesday that redressal of India's concerns was necessary for a "comprehensive, serious, and sustained" dialogue between the two countries.

Vouching for continuation of bilateral talks for better ties, she said that India had consistently been proposing a step-by-step approach for normalization of relations and that this approach did not preclude discussions on any issue.

The Indian official also said that her country was committed to resolving all outstanding issues with Pakistain through dialogue.

Reiterating India's commitment to remove all obstacles in bilateral trade, Rao said, "We are open to looking at the existing bilateral visa agreement that was signed in 1974 to facilitate travel by bonafide businessmen from both countries."
