India, Pak to share info and meet often

CNN-IBN

New Delhi: A joint statement and a promise to meet regularly on a priority basis—that's what emerged from the final day of the Indo-Pak joint anti-terror mechanism meeting in Islamabad on Wednesday.

India and Pakistan have agreed that specific information on investigations on terrorist acts will be exchanged and that the two countries will also work towards prevention of violence and terror.

India and Pakistan will meet on a quarterly basis even if there's no new information, just to keep the dialogue going. And a day after Pakistan gave a dossier on alleged Indian interference in Balochistan, India rejected the charge.

"India has nothing to do with Baluchistan. As far as Indian consulate in Afghanistan is concerned, they have nothing to with developments in Baluchistan," says External Affairs Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna.

He added that the Indian counsel in Afganistan was working in close cooperation with the Afgan Government.

The joint anti-terrorism mechanism was based on the agreement reached between President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Havana in September 2006.
