Krishna to call on Qureshi

External Affairs Minister SM Krishna will call his Pakistani counterpart today to decide the future course of bilateral engagements between New Delhi and Islamabad.

They are expected to talk about the modalities for bringing down the post 26/11 trust deficit and rebuilding mutual confidence between the two nations.

Krishna, himself, revealed his plan to talk to Qureshi over the telephone in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.

He said that India has decided to talk with Pakistan, as there had been a transformation in ties with assurances that India’s “core concern” would be addressed by Islamabad.
