He said trade, education, health and tourism among all issues would be discussed in the recent visit. Badr said Saarc Chamber of Commerce of both the countries would be interacting under the same dialogue.
He said the delegation is visiting India for moving the peace process forward and enhance trade on the government level. Badr said the delegation would hold meetings with Indian officials on issues such as trade, education, health, tourism among others.
"We would discuss co-operation in trade, education and healthcare and the resolution of issues such as the Kashmir dispute in meetings with our Indian counterparts," he added.
