Islamabad : Pakistan has conveyed to India its keenness for progress on "doable" issues like Siachen and Sir Creek to create a "conducive" environment to talk about "core issues" and move towards their resolution, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said on Tuesday. Khar made the remarks while briefing the National Assembly on her talks with her Indian counterpart S M Krishna in New Delhi last month.
She said she had conveyed Pakistan's position on the Siachen and Sir Creek issues and described her visit to New Delhi as an "extremely successful trip".
"When we look into policies vis-a-vis Afghanistan and India, we want to build a new relationship and a new era of cooperation with each other. We want to build trust, rather than to evaporate trust. We want to build new foundation of relationship," she said. Pakistan's intention is to make the dialogue process with India "uninterrupted and uninterruptible", Khar said.
"We want to create a conducive environment in which the two countries could talk about core issues and move towards their resolution," she remarked. India and Pakistan had held a "frank, constructive, cordial and meaningful" dialogue and agreed to carry forward the process to peacefully resolve all outstanding issues, she said.
Khar said she had delivered Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani's letter inviting his Indian counterpart to visit Pakistan and this had been "accepted". Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had conveyed that he is committed to heralding a "new spring" in relations between the two countries, she said.
