Expressing satisfaction over the recent calm at LoC, he said existing mechanism on LoC meetings need to be further strengthened. Sharif made the remarks while talking to Indian high commissioner to Pakistan TCA Raghavan, who called on him in the capital Islamabad.
Sharif said Pakistan believes in friendly relationship with all its neighbours, especially India, a statement released by the prime minister’s house said. All issues with India have to be dealt with peacefully and diplomatically through dialogue based on parity, it said. ‘We have no option but to live in peace in the interest of the people of Pakistan and India,’ the statement said.
Sharif said Pakistan and India should institutionalise the mechanism of meetings between national security advisors of the two countries to discuss matters related to terrorism.
The DGMOs of the two sides should meet so that such occurrences do not happen in future, he added. ‘I believe that sincere and constructive measures need to be taken to reduce tension on LoC and to ensure that the ceasefire agreement of 2003 remains intact,’ Sharif said.
