Dialogue with India is the best option: Pakistan govt
Pakistani High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit had recently said that peace process between neighbouring nations India and Pakistan has been "suspended".
However, Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesman Nafees Zakaria on Thursday contradicted his statement and told reporters: "I think both the questions refer to the current status of the peace process. During Prime Minister Modi's visit to Pakistan in December last, it was decided that the two Foreign Secretaries should meet soon. It is hoped that both sides would work out modalities for the FS level talks. We need to look ahead and not think in terms foreclosing any options. Both sides are in contact with each other. Once the modalities are worked out Secretary level talks would take place."
He said dialogue between India and Pakistan is the best option.
"Yes, dialogue is the best option! Diplomacy is for interaction and engagement between countries," he said.
