Ahead of the Indo-Pak foreign secretary-level talks, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Tuesday briefed the Chinese leadership on Islamabad's efforts to develop friendly relations with India.

Pakistan has indicated its readiness for the Foreign Secretary-level talks on February 25, saying the two sides need to "move forward" but insisted on resumption of composite dialogue covering Kashmir and other outstanding issues.

Amid concerns here over rising infiltration, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna on Wednesday spoke to his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi and pressed for "effective steps" to dismantle infrastructure of terror, saying it is still being "used" for anti-India acts.

India wants Pakistan to take action against those responsible for the Mumbai terrorist attack, before it can commit itself to resumption of composite dialogue as insisted by Pakistan.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Thursday said that the recent launch of a nuclear-powered submarine by India has undermined strategic stability in the region.

India on Sunday rejected any 'back channel' talks with Pakistan and said no meaningful bilateral dialogue can take place unless that country took action against the Mumbai attack suspects.

Facing flak for inaction against Mumbai attack perpetrators, including Hafiz Mohd Saeed, Pakistan on Sunday said it does not want to take to court a "half- baked" case against the JuD chief in the absence of "legally tenable" evidence and asked India not to hold back the ties on a single issue.

Pakistan on Thursday accused India of mounting propaganda on issues like the Mumbai attacks and said nothing can be achieved by putting “pressure” on it even as it sought unconditional talks to resolve outstanding matters.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Wednesday attacked former President Pervez Musharraf, saying that he had done disservice to the nation by his remarks that the US military aid for the war on terror was diverted to boost defences against India during his tenure.

Pakistan has stated for the first time since the Singh-Gilani meeting in Egypt in July that it has not handed over a dossier on Balochistan to the Indian Prime Minister.

Maintaining that dialogue was the "only sensible way" for resolving issues, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Wednesday hoped that he will meet his Indian counterpart S M Krishna in New York this month, which will lead to "forward movement" in ties.

Pakistan on Saturday said India appears to be "hesitating" over the resumption of the stalled peace process due to its "internal political situation" and insisted that dialogue is the only way forward for the two countries.

India's latest dossier on the Mumbai attacks in which it has sought action against JuD chief Hafiz Mohd Saeed is being examined by Pakistan which is in "a cooperative mood" and wants to help, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Wednesday.

Pakistan on Wednesday said India should avoid levelling "strange" allegations about terror threats and instead share credible information with it so that effective action can be taken against terrorists.

Putting the onus on India, Pakistan on Tuesday asked it to speedily share information about terror groups based in this country plotting fresh attacks, saying it cannot take "lightly" Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's warning in this regard.

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Thursday briefed US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Pakistan's investigation into the Mumbai terror attacks and the trial of suspects linked to the incident.

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Monday travelled to Kabul on a day-long visit to discuss the agenda of an upcoming meeting of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan.

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has asked the US to help Islamabad fight the Taliban, saying his government is "very determined to eliminate sanctuaries of the extremists on its soil".

Pakistan last week formally filed charges against nine suspects linked to the Mumbai incident and acknowledged for the first time that part of the conspiracy behind the attacks was hatched within the country.

Pakistan on Saturday said its probe into the Mumbai terror attacks can "reach fruition" only with India's cooperation as the two countries should cooperate to root out terrorism from the region.

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Pakistan and India will have to live as "good neighbours" despite the "hiccup" caused in bilateral ties by the Mumbai terrorist strikes.

Pakistan on Friday said it has completed its preliminary investigation into India's dossier on the Mumbai terror attacks and will share the findings with New Delhi and rest of the world.

Speaking at a reception at the Chinese embassy in Islamabad Wednesday night, Qureshi said he had told Chinese special envoy He Yafei to "go to Delhi and you have a blank cheque from us".

Islamabad on Sunday rejected India's demand to hand over terror suspects linked to the strikes, insisting that there was no extradition treaty between the two countries.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Thursday that his country had made significant developments in the probe into the Mumbai terrorist attacks, which left more than 170 people dead and over 300 injured.
