The Foreign Office on Thursday reiterated that Pakistan was ready for talks with India but not on pre-conditions. Pakistan would like the process of engagement leading to the resumption of the composite dialogue, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said. However, he confirmed that the Foreign Office had not yet responded to the Indian proposal of secretary-level talks and the leadership would take a final decision on the matter. Abdul Basit said that dialogue was necessary to establish viable peace in the region.
