Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today sought to assuage feelings in India by expressing "sadness" over the recent incidents on the LoC and "loss of precious human lives" that sparked tensions between the two countries.
As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has come under pressure from the BJP not to hold talks with him in New York next month, Sharif said he was looking forward to the meeting in which he intends to discuss steps to further build trust and consolidate the bilateral relationship.
Chairing a meeting at the Foreign Office to review tensions in the wake of the killing of five Indian soldiers, he said the two countries should take effective steps to restore the ceasefire along the Line of Control.
