SM Krishna's remarks before talks with Hina Rabbani Khar

New Delhi:  Here's the full text of SM Krishna's remarks before talks with his Pakistani counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar:

I am delighted to welcome the Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Her Excellency Hina Rabbani Khar, and members of her delegation to India for bilateral talks.

At the outset, I would also like to congratulate her in person on her appointment as the Foreign Minister of Pakistan and wish her all the very best.


I look forward to working closely with her in forming a peaceful and cooperative relationship between India and Pakistan, which is in the interest of peace and development of both our countries, the region and beyond. We owe this to ourselves and to the generations to follow.


Excellency, let me categorically state that we would like to see a stable, peaceful and prosperous Pakistan and wish the people of Pakistan well. The challenges and aspirations of all us South Asians are similar. I visualize a resurgent South Asia, proudly marching forth on a path of development, in a terror free and harmonious atmosphere.

I wish you a wonderful visit to India and would once again like to welcome you to the historical capital city of New Delhi
