Serious about normalising India ties, want talks, says Pakistan

ISLAMABAD/LAHORE: After a bitter verbal duel with India for two days, Pakistan Saturday struck a conciliatory note, saying it is serious about normalisation of bilateral ties and continuation of the dialogue.

"Pakistan wants the continuation of dialogue with India. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has assured me that all issues will be discussed," Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said while describing his Indian counterpart as an "honourable man".

"We want talks, they (India) too want talks. When talks are held, we will discuss all issues. At this stage, I cannot say anything in the air," he said on the sidelines of a function in Lahore.
