India-Pakistan Foreign Secretary-level talks today
Accompanied by respective delegations, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar and his Pakistani counterpart A A Chaudhry will meet on the sidelines of the Heart of Asia conference – a multilateral forum of the countries supporting reconstruction of war-ravaged Afghanistan, reports said.
A meeting between Jaishankar and Chaudhry was scheduled to take place in Islamabad on January 15. They were expected to discuss modalities and timeline of the formal bilateral dialogue after its resumption, as announced by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and her counterpart Sartaj Aziz on December 9 last year.
The bilateral meeting might include discussions on the Pathankot airbase attack and a possible visit by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to Pakistan to probe the plot behind the attack.
