New Delhi:
Pakistan's Interior Secretary Chaudhary Qamar Zaman arrived in Delhi today for the Home Secretary-level meeting to be held in New Delhi on Monday.
Speaking to reporters after his arrival, Zaman said Islamabad was trying its best to satisfy India on the probe into the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
He also said that he would talk about providing voice samples of the 26/11 accused to India.
Zaman is leading a six-member delegation for the two-day talks with Home Secretary G K Pillai from tomorrow.
He had earlier said that this meeting was aimed at promoting and strengthening peace between the two neighbours.
"Such efforts between the two sides would enhance peaceful relations and promote people-to-people contact," Zaman had told reporters at the Attari-Wagah border before flying to Delhi.
"The entire country has appreciated this gesture of Hon'ble Prime Minister of India," he said referring to the invitation extended by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to watch the Indo-Pak World Cup semi-final in Mohali on March 30. Gilani has accepted Singh's invitation.
Pakistan is also hoping to make some progress with India on easing the visa regime.
"We will be talking to our counterparts in New Delhi about how to make travel easier for the common man. One of the issues we intend to discuss is the visa issue between the two countries and how to make it easier and faster so that the common man gets the benefit out of it," he said.
Pillai and Zaman will meet in the shadow of a summit meeting between the two sides on the margins of the cricket encounter in Mohali.
No major breakthrough is expected in the Home Secretary-level talks being held after a gap of nine months, sources say, but they expect the "ice may be broken" for the resumption of substantial dialogue later.
