Seoul: Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza
Gilani met here Tuesday and said the two countries had charted the
right path to resolve their issues and decided to intensify
dialogue.
The two leaders, who met on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security
Summit here in an unscheduled informal meeting, reviewed their
improving bilateral relations, said sources.
This was the first meeting between the two leaders since they met
in the idyllic Addu resort in the Maldives where they had vowed to
script "a new chapter" in their bilateral ties.
According to a statement from the Pakistani Prime Minister's
office, both the leaders "expressed their desire to intensify the
dialogue process for further engagements".
In the last few months, India and Pakistan have sustained the
momentum in their revived dialogue process, with Islamabad moving
ahead in the direction of granting India the Most Favoured Nation
status.
External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna is expected to go to
Pakistan later this year to hold the annual foreign minister-level
dialogue with his counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar.
