New Delhi, April 06: In an effort to give a trade push to the resumption of dialogue between India and Pakistan, the commerce secretaries of the two countries will meet in Islamabad on April 27 and 28.
The meeting comes on the heels of talks between the home secretaries of the two countries here last month, ahead of the India-Pakistan cricket World Cup semi-final match witnessed by the Prime Ministers of the two countries at Mohali.
“By the end of April in Islamabad,” Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said today when asked about the commerce secretaries’ meeting. She was talking to reporters on the sidelines of a Commerce Ministry and Exim Bank function here.
The trade talks, suspended after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, are scheduled to be held on April 27 and 28, a senior Commerce Ministry official said.
