New Delhi: Differences have cropped up over the agenda for Foreign Secretary level talks between India and Pakistan which will take place on the June 23 and 24.
The Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan will meet in Islamabad during June 23-24 for discussions under the bilateral peace process that resumed earlier this year after a gap of over two years.
The Foreign Secretaries will discuss peace and security, including confidence-building measures, the Jammu and Kashmir issue and promotion of friendly exchanges, said a brief statement issued by the Foreign Office.
India wants to discuss fresh evidence from the 26/11 trial in Chicago, but Pakistan does not want to discuss terror at all, saying India is fixated on the issue. Foreign Office spokesperson Tehmina Janjua on Friday said the agenda of the upcoming meeting would be limited to the Kashmir issue, peace and security and friendly exchanges.
Pakistan has said it will raise the core issue of Kashmir. There has been no headway on the Siachen and Sir Creek disputes either.
