Agencies
- New Delhi
As
part of confidence-building measures, Pakistan should reciprocate
and accord India MFN status to move in the direction of improving
bilateral economic and trade ties, the minister of state for external
affairs Mr Digvijay Singh said.
“This
(according MFN status) is a basic step in economic relations,”
Mr Singh stated. The Minister said the two countries would have
to hold discussions on the nature of a structured agenda before
considering a political summit. He, however, made it clear that
there was hesitancy on India’s part for the prime minister
Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee to hold talks with his Pakistani counterpart
Mr Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali. “Prime Minister Jamali is the
executive head in Pakistan,” he said to press his point.
