New Delhi says, it is committed to resolving all issues with Pakistan through a bilateral dialogue in an atmosphere free from terror and violence. External Affairs Minister S M Krishna is leaving for Islamabad in a short while from now to review the last round of the bilateral dialogue with Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar.

He said that it would be unrealistic to expect a barbaric terror attack like the one on Mumbai not to cause a major setback to the efforts to build peace and co-operation. He also asserted that India has given more than adequate evidence to Pakistan to enable them to bring the perpetrators of 26/11 to justice.

Mr. Krishna said, he cannot prejudge the outcome of the meeting but maintained that dialogue is the best way to solve India-Pakistan issues. Sources say, all the bilateral issues will come up for discussion in Mr. Krishna’s meeting with his Pakistani counterpart and other leaders but terrorism and bringing the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks to book remains the core concern of New Delhi.

Our correspondent accompanying the External Affairs Minister reports that India is ready to sign the new visa regime agreement with Pakistan for better people to people contacts.

Ahead of Mr.Krishna's crucial talks with Hina Rabbani Khar, eight technical sub-groups of the India-Pakistan Joint Commission met in Islamabad yesterday to discuss prospects for cooperation in less contentious areas like agriculture and health.

The Foreign Secretaries of the two countries will meet today to prepare for tomorrow’s talks between the two ministers.
