Pakistan on Wednesday said that the current thaw in its ties with India presented a lifetime opportunity to resolve all outstanding issues including Kashmir and suggested strengthening of trade relations to give a fillip to the ongoing peace process.
"It is an opportunity of a lifetime. The leadership of the two countries are sincere to resolve all issues through dialogue and negotiations," Pakistan's High Commissioner to India Aziz Ahmed Khan, said here, PTI reported.
Addressing a visiting Pakistani business delegation here at the invitation of Assocham, he said, "a new atmosphere started and prevailed since April last year after Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, extended a hand of friendship and Pakistan accepted the offer."
"The joint press statement on January 6, on the sidelines of South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (Saarc) Summit, in which they resolved that they will make efforts to resolve all outstanding issues including Jammu and Kashmir through talks and negotiations, is a landmark development," Khan said.
The meeting between the foreign secretaries of the two countries to work out a dialogue process has given an outline and a roadmap to address all issues, the High Commissioner said.
The next Indo-Pakistan talks in June or July would go a long way in fostering good relation between the two countries, Khan added.
