ISLAMABAD, Oct 3:
The DGMOs of India and Pakistan will meet soon to discuss ways to reduce tensions on the LoC, with Islamabad today hoping that such engagements will facilitate the resumption of the stalled composite dialogue.
The “immediate takeaway” of the meeting of the Prime Ministers of the two countries in New York on Sunday was that they agreed to stabilise the situation on the Line of Control (LoC) and that the Directors General of Military Operations would meet soon, said Foreign Office spokesman Aizaz Chaudhry.
“This would lead to further engagements between officials that would eventually extend to the restarting of the composite dialogue,” he told a weekly news briefing.
Asked when the DGMOs would meet, Chaudhry said: “Work has been initiated and dates are being worked out.”
Chaudhry expressed hope that the composite dialogue would restart once the situation on LoC is resolved. He described the meeting between the two Prime Ministers as “positive and constructive”.
“All in all, it was a good beginning,” he said while responding to a question on the impact of the meeting between the two leaders on the margins of the UN General Assembly.
The bilateral meeting took place at the highest level and both leaders agreed the ceasefire on the LoC should be implemented as soon as possible, he said. (PTI)
