Islamabad: Pakistani
Interior Minister Rehman Malik, who reached New Delhi on a
goodwill visit to India, Friday invited Indian Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh for a visit to Pakistan.
Stressing that Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari had already
invited Manmohan Singh to Pakistan, Malik said: "I would also
invite the Indian prime minister for a visit on behalf of our
leadership."
Before his departure from the Benazir Bhutto International Airport
in the capital, Malik told the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP)
that his visit to India was a "victory of peace" and for those who
wanted to see improvement in bilateral relations.
Malik said now people from both countries, especially senior
citizens, businessmen and journalists, could easily visit either
country to further enhance trade and cultural relations.
He said the new visa accord was a gift from the leadership of both
countries to the coming generations.
Peace and stability between the two countries would usher in a new
era of progress and development in the region, Malik told APP.
The minister lauded the media for playing an important role in
bringing the two nations closer.
Malik appreciated the role of the two high commissioners and said
they worked hard for the improvement of relations.
He said that during his visit, he would give the message to the
entire world that Pakistan and India were peace loving nations
that believed in co-existence and wanted to live as peaceful
neighbours.
