India ready for constructive engagement with Pak: Modi to Imran
FacebookTwitterWhatsapp

New Delhi, Aug 20:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written to his newly elected Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan, conveying New Delhi’s commitment to pursue “meaningful” and “constructive” engagement with Islamabad and emphasising the need to work for a terror-free South Asia, official sources said today.

In a letter to Khan on August 18, the day he was sworn in as Pakistan’s 22nd prime minister, Modi also expressed India’s commitment to building good neighbourly relations between the two countries while congratulating him, the sources said.

In Islamabad, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi offered “uninterrupted” dialogue with India to resolve all outstanding issues, saying it is the “only wise course” as the two countries cannot afford any “adventurism”.

On July 30, Modi had telephoned Khan to congratulate him on his party’s victory in the general elections and expressed hope that both countries will work to open a new chapter in bilateral ties.

Days before Modi’s phone call, Khan said he wanted to improve ties with India and resolve all the issues through talks. “If India takes one step towards us, we will take two.”

In the letter, Modi recalled his telephonic conversation with Khan, in which they spoke of their shared vision to bring peace, security and prosperity in the Indian subcontinent to make it free of terror and violence, the sources said, quoting from the letter.

In his letter, the prime minister also expressed the belief that the smooth transition of government in Pakistan will strengthen and cement people’s belief in democracy.

“PM expressed India’s commitment to build good neighbourly relations between India and Pakistan and pursue meaningful and constructive engagement for the benefit of the people of the region,” a source said.

Asked whether Modi’s letter revived hopes for resumption of talks between the two neighbours, former diplomat Vivek Katju said he has reiterated India’s position and it is for Pakistan to create an environment for engagement by coming down hard on terror groups.

“India has always been ready for talks with Pakistan provided Pakistan creates a terror-free environment,” said Katju.

Modi had made an unannounced visit to Lahore in December 2015 — the first visit to Pakistan by an Indian premier in more than 10 years. He made the surprise visit on his way back from a trip to Russia and Afghanistan.

The visit had raised hope for a thaw in ties but a series of militant attacks in next few months on Indian establishment as well as India’s “surgical strikes” put the bilateral ties under further strain.
