Beautiful First female Pakistan foreign minister to meet the world
India and Pakistan’s foreign ministers hailed a new chapter in relations on Wednesday after their first talks in a year attempted to breath fresh life into the arch-rivals’ stop-start peace process.
In an upbeat assessment after their meeting, foreign minister SM Krishna said ties were back “on the right track,” while his Pakistani counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar spoke of a “new era” of cooperation. There was little in the way of substantive agreements to back up the general mood of optimism, with a joint statement envisaging a general bilateral effort to combat terrorism, increase trade and keep the peace dialogue going.
India suspended contacts with Pakistan after the 2008 Mumbai attacks which it blamed on Pakistan-based militants. The peace process has struggled to gain any real traction since its formal resumption earlier this year in an atmosphere of mutual recrimination and mistrust. We have some distance to travel, but with an open mind and a constructive approach … I am sure we can reach our desired destination of having a friendly and cooperative relationship,” Krishna said.
