‘Talks with Pak to reduce distrust’
Chandigarh, May 19
External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna
Tasked with the most important but unenviable task of resuming the dialogue with Pakistan, India’s External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna believes the challenge lies in reducing the trust deficit between the two countries. Krishna will be paying his maiden visit to Islamabad on July 15 to talk to his counterpart Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi. In an exclusive interview to The Tribune Editor-in-Chief Raj Chengappa, India’s External Affairs Minister said: “There is total distrust between the two countries. So we will have to attack the trust deficit first. The central theme of my visit is to make an effort to reduce the trust deficit and even eliminate it. I think if we succeed, something would be achieved.”
