ISLAMABAD, (APP): Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan
Gautam Bambawale on Thursday said India is ready to restore dialogue
process with Pakistan on all the issues if environment for talks is
pleasant.
Talking to newsmen here at a local hotel at an Iftar Dinner,
he said, atmosphere for resumption of talks between Pakistan and
India should be improved.
He said that better atmosphere was a must for the resumption
of talks between Pakistan and India so that these talks should be
comprehensive and durable.
He said after the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narindra Modi
to Lahore on December 25 last year improved the atmosphere for talks
between two countries but the incident of Pathankot changed the
situation.
Replying to a question, he fully endorsed that there should be
competition between the two countries not only in cricket but hockey
too as both the countries have great achievements in these two games
at world level. He added that such activities will bring the people
of India and Pakistan more closer to each other.
