Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik and Indian High Commissioner Sharat Sabharwal have discussed modalities for a Pakistani judicial commission's visit to India to interview key officials linked to the probe into the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

A statement from Pakistan Interior Ministry said Mr Sabharwal called on Mr Malik on Monday and discussed matters relating to the Mumbai attacks and the visit of the judicial commission to India.

The commission is expected to interview the police officer, who led the probe into the incident, the magistrate who recorded the confession of Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving attacker, and doctors who conducted the autopsies of victims and nine terrorists who were killed during the attacks.

Pakistani prosecutors have said the commission's visit was imperative to take forward the prosecution of seven suspects, including Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, who has been charged with planning, financing and facilitating the attacks that killed 166 people in November 2008.
