Indian External Affairs Minister SM Krishna resigns

Sources say Krishna sent his resignation to the Prime Minister Office.

Indian External Affairs Minister SM Krishna, who recently came to Pakistan on a three-day visit, resigned two days ahead of a cabinet reshuffle, NDTV.com reported Friday.

Sources said that Krishna sent his resignation to the Prime Minister Office.

Ahead of his three-day visit to Pakistan for secretary-level talks, Krishna had said that friendship between the two countries has become inevitable, especially after they have reconciled over several sensitive issues.

Concluding his much-anticipated and closely-watched three-day trip to Pakistan on a high note, Krishna had termed his interactions “very fruitful”.
