Islamabad, May 24: In a cautious response to India's suggestion for sharing intelligence on the activities of militant groups, Pakistan today called for creation of a "constituency for peace" and said that such things could be considered "if there was meeting of minds at the top." In a guarded reaction to comments by External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha suggesting intelligence sharing under joint mechanism, Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Muhammad Kasuri said the two countries could do a lot of things together but a "meeting of mindsets" as necessary for such initiatives.
"May be lot of things can be done. But what is more important is creation of a powerful constituency for peace," he told the Indian correspondents here over phone from Lahore.
He said for such steps, "a meeting of minds" was required, specially between the leaderships of both the countries.
Kasuri also said that Pakistan would appoint the high commissioner to India soon.
Pakistan Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali has told the media in Karachi two days ago that a decision would be taken on high commissioner to India in consultation with Kasuri.
On the delay in the resumption of flight services between the two countries as well as Pakistan granting airspace, he said such things needed to be discussed by civil aviation officials on both sides, adding that such issues can be amicably resolved after appointment of high commissioner.
