11 Jun, 2012

Pakistani High Commissioner Shahid Malik has expressed the hope that bilateral cricket ties between Pakistan and India will soon resume. Talking to Indian media in New Delhi, he counted the non-renewal of "cricket ties" as the biggest low of his tenure.
"I think there is no better sight for a cricket lover like me to see two giants of cricket playing against eachother in sportsman spirit. I hope this get revived soon," he said.
Observing that only trade ties have seen tangible progress in the resumed Pakistan-India talks, he said all issues, including Siachen and Kashmir, must also "move in tandem" to sustain the peace process.
Malik told PTI in an interview, the Pakistan High Commissioner said it is "good" that trade relations are increasing because they create a momentum of their own, a momentum which makes things move forward.
"I would want that along with this, progress should be made on other issues like Siachen, Sir Creek, Kashmir, water issues. There should be a move forward in these also".
There is a golden phrase, all issues must move in tandem," he said.
