ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and India have agreed to reinitiate the comprehensive dialogue process, Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said in a joint press conference on Wednesday along with the prime minister’s adviser on foreign affairs, Sartaj Aziz.

“Instead of composite dialogues, now comprehensive dialogues will be held in which all outstanding issues will be discussed,” Sushma said.

She said that foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India will decide the schedule of these meetings.

The Indian minister claimed that the National Security Advisers of the two countries discussed all the outstanding issues during their recent meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.

Earlier on Wednesday, Swaraj met Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of the ‘Heart of Asia’ conference to discuss bilateral issues.

The meeting is considered crucial as many long standing issues were discussed.

The prime minister's adviser Sartaj Aziz and premier's special assistant Tariq Fatemi were also in attendance.

Swaraj confirmed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Pakistan for the South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (Saarc) summit expected to be held in September 2016.

Earlier, the opening of the ‘Heart of Asia’ conference in the capital today was marked by a warm welcome from Pakistani authorities to visiting dignitaries from India, Afghanistan, China among other Asian countries.

In her speech, Swaraj focused on increased connectivity, regional trade and openness with Afghanistan, and also "extended India’s hand towards Pakistan" in this regard.

"It is time we [Pakistan and India] display maturity and self confidence to do business with each other... the entire world is watching and we must not disappoint them," she had stated earlier in the day while addressing the ‘Heart of Asia’ conference.

She added that India will extend its cooperation at a pace Pakistan is comfortable with.

Swaraj also stated that connectivity also lies at the heart of India’s own efforts to push for regional economic cooperation. Nothing can benefit Afghanistan more immediately than full and direct access to India’s markets to enable it to take advantage of the zero-duty regime

She also conveyed India’s willingness to join the Afghanistan-Pakistan trade and transit agreement.

The Indian foreign minister singled out terrorism as the biggest deterrent to progress and peace in Afghanistan and said India was ready to help Afghanistan strengthen its defence.

The national security advisers of Pakistan and India met for a brief and unannounced meeting in Bangkok last week, which was followed up by an informal and short meeting between the prime ministers of Pakistan and India.

Even Pakistan went the BD way! I thought the Pak Govt will at least pursue an independent policy. But I guess kickbacks did their trick here as well. :agree:

what kickbacks?
One call from US and India came running for talks, although it will not bear any result because you can make someone talk with danda but you cant put sincerity in it.
some emerging supa pawa

Expect the terror attack from RAW in either Pakistan or India; to get the talks stalled once again. Otherwise, it would be marvel.

No harm in chai coffee and discussion. The discussion helps us confuse LeT terrorist and contain violence in kashmir.

We live beside a security state which has nothing to lose.
Pakistan behavior can be described by Russel peter video: You kill me...nej.. I kill me and you!!
Pakistan doesnt care its economic rise but all it wants is to slow down india's rise with help of terrorist and non state actors.

So India are buying time with such lullaby of talks.
Another 10yrs, The economic and military parity would speak for itself:)
