Ahead of embarking on a three-day visit to Pakistan to bridge the trust deficit between New Delhi and Islamabad, the External Affairs Minister Mr. S.M. Krishna held meeting with the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, Mrs. Sushma Swaraj and the Rajya Sabha, Mr. Arun Jaiteley. Official sources said that the objective of the meeting was to keep the main opposition informed about New Delhi's peace efforts with Pakistan. <br/><br/>The External Affairs Minister called on the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. It is believed that the two discussed issues to be taken up by India in the talks. Mr. Krishna earlier briefed the UPA chairperson Mrs. Sonia Gandhi on the visit. Mr. S.M. Krishna is leaving for Islamabad on Wednesday. He will explore ways of resuming substantive dialogue between India and Pakistan. The visit is in pursuance of the mandate given by the two Prime Ministers during their meeting at Thimphu in April, this year. <br/><br/>The Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan had asked the foreign ministers and foreign secretaries of the two countries to work out the modalities of restoring trust and confidence in the relationship. AIR correspondent reports that this is the first visit by an External Affairs Minister to Pakistan since the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Mr Krishna will hold wide-ranging discussions with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi. He is likely to meet the Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani and the President Mr. Asif Ali Zardari apart from the Pakistan Muslim League Chief Nawaz Sharif. The talks are expected to review the progress made by Pakistan in prosecuting the perpetrators of the Mumbai attack and India's core concerns on terrorist groups targeting Indian interests and assets from the Pakistani territory. The meeting will build on the talks held between the two Foreign Secretaries and the Home Ministers in Islamabad last month. During these talks, Pakistan conveyed that it will act with full force to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai attack to justice and address India's concerns over terrorism. <br/><br/>Exhorting Pakistan to move beyond the nomenclature, India has made it clear that the forthcoming talks should not be construed as the resumption of composite dialogue. AIR correspondent reports that India's approach to these talks is incremental and will wait to see concrete action from Pakistan and the 26/11 trial before enlarging the scope of dialogue.
