Islamabad: Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi Thursday hailed Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his decision to pursue the peace process with Islamabad.
"It is a tribute to his vision that he agreed to pursue the peace process," Qureshi told journalists at the end of the press conference he addressed jointly with his Indian counterpart S M Krishna here.
Thursday's dialogue between the two foreign ministers followed the decision of the Indian and Pakistani prime ministers in April this year to engage once again in order to put their derailed relations back on track.
Krishna called on Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and discussed the issue of terrorism, stressing for timely intelligence sharing between the two countries to prevent acts of terror. Krishna arrived on Wednesday on a three-day visit.
Zardari said that "destinies of the people of both Pakistan and India and development of the entire region lies in friendly, cooperative and good neighbourly relations between the two countries."
A statement from the Presidency said Zardari "stressed for timely information and intelligence sharing between the two counties to prevent any incident of terrorism and violence and that terror incidents don't affect our ties in the future".
