The spokesman said Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said, “We do want sustainable and meaningful dialogue process with India and Pakistan is ready to go forward in this regard but not interested for just ‘photo opt’.

He said Pakistan was not averse to third party mediation. Since India was not ready to accept such third party mediation, so Pakistan was ready for bilateral talks. The spokesman said Pakistan’s willingness to revive the dialogue process with India should be appreciated.
