No progress in Krishna-Qureshi talks in New York | The meeting between External Affairs Minister S M
Krishna and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi ended in New York with
no apparent progress on late Sunday evening. The talks lasted for two hours. The
meeting was centered on the progress of the investigations in Pakistan of Mumbai
terror attack. This is first high-level contact between the countries since the
Prime Ministers of both the countries met in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt in July. Speaking
to newsmen after the meeting Qureshi said, "Yes, we are considering very senior
former diplomat, former foreign secretary - a gentleman called Riaz Mohd Khan,"
for appointment as special envoy to India. Earlier, at the UN General Assembly
Krishna said the Mumbai attacks would be the focal point of his talks with Qureshi.
Krishna also said: "There cannot be any justification whatsoever for such mindless
terrorist acts. It is our collective responsibility and duty to work together
to ensure that terrorists, organisers, perpetrators and supporters of such crimes
are brought to justice." |
