THE CPI(M) expressed support for close and continual dialogue between India and Pakistan on matters of common interest. “It is in our common interest to open areas of cooperation,” said CPI(M) general secretary Harkishan Singh Surjeet.
The
remarks were made when the union external affairs minister, Natwar Singh, met
Surjeet and CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Prakash Karat at the CPI(M) headquarters
on September 1. He briefed the CPI(M) leaders on the outcome of the ongoing
secretarial level talks with Pakistan.
The talks, it is understood, are on a wide range of issues of mutual interest.
This meeting with the CPI(M) leaders took place in the background of the
forthcoming talks between India and Pakistan on September 5-6. (INN)
