Pakistan has said it will take part in the Heart of Asia conference on Afghanistan to be held in India despite tension and periodic exchange of fire across the Line of Control (LoC).
Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz confirmed that Pakistan will participate in the Heart of Asia conference.
“Pakistan will attend the Heart of Asia conference,” he told media yesterday. However, it was not clear the level of participation by Pakistan.”
The key ministerial meeting of the conference – also called the Istanbul process – is scheduled to take place in Amritsar on December 4.
Last year in December the meeting of the Istanbul process was hosted by Pakistan. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had attended the meeting.
It is also not known if there would be any formal interaction between Pakistani and Indian officials. (PTI)
