conveyed its concerns and expectations to Pakistan on several occasions, including
at the highest level in the meetings of Prime Minister with President and Prime
Minister of Pakistan and in the meetings between External Affairs Minister and
Foreign Minister of Pakistan," Krishna said. "Pakistan has stated that it will
bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai attack to justice," he added. Krishna informed
