ISLAMABAD: The incumbent government has made sincere attempts to convince India to resolve the issues by holding negotiations on promoting bilateral trade, tourism besides discussing Kashmir issue, Foreign Officer spokesman Dr. Faisal said.

Briefing the Senate Forum for Policy Research, he said India has not yet responded to Pakistan’s proposal perhaps due to their ensuing elections.
Terming the visit of Prime Minister Imran Khan to Saudi Arabia as fruitful, Dr Faisal said that Iranian foreign minister’s twice visit to Pakistan was a good sign of balanced policy direction of the country.
