We desire a dialogue: Pak.

By B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD, OCT. 30 A day after the Prime Minister, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee, announced that he does not have to travel to New York to meet the Pakistan President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Islamabad maintained that it desired a dialogue with India and was prepared to continue the Agra process ``anywhere, any time and at any level''.

The Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman, Mr. Aziz Khan, told correspondents at a press briefing that Pakistan had expressed a desire for resolution of all outstanding issues with India including Kashmir through peaceful dialogue.

``We have extended an invitation to the Indian Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister to visit Islamabad to continue the process of dialogue. The invitation for talks is valid for New York as well,'' he said when asked to respond to the observations made by Mr. Vajpayee.
