India-Pak Relation: The Foreign Ministers of India and Pakistan have met for the first time after the departure of the Imran government in Pakistan and the coming of the Shahbaz Sharif government. India's Foreign Minister Dr. S Jaishankar and Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari met during the SCO Foreign Ministers' Conference in Uzbekistan.

 

Indian government sources have confirmed to ABP News that the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan met each other during the SCO summit in Uzbekistan. However, the sources also clarified that no bilateral delegation talks took place between India and Pakistan. But there was a courtesy meeting between External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar and Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto and both of them also shook hands. The important thing is that they decided not to ignore each other. Because on many occasions the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan have been completely ignoring each other.

 

Trying to improve relations between the two countries

 

Reliable sources in the government say that India also wants to improve relations with Pakistan under the policy of Neighbor First, but for this, Pakistan should also create an atmosphere. Sources in the Government of India say that on the one hand, even when Pakistan's Army Chief or Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto says something positive, then contradictory statements come from other parts of the government. According to sources, the Indian government feels that the current Sharif government wants to improve relations with India and especially trade relations, but this government has only a year.

 

 

What is the problem of Shahbaz Sharif?

 

He will also be afraid that even if he takes two steps forward to improve relations with India, Imran Khan will take a dig at him for this because of the elections, which may go against the current Shahbaz Sharif government. In such a situation, for the betterment of relations between India and Pakistan, it is most important that the government of Pakistan should at least talk in one voice and put forward a policy toward improving the relationship.

 

What has been agreed upon?

 

The big news received from the sources is that it has been agreed in India and Pakistan that people-to-people contact between the people should be increased once again and religious movement should be allowed. Along with this, the prisoners lodged in the jails of both countries should also be released and sent back to their respective countries. This is the reason that both India and Pakistan recently granted visas to many people for religious places and also released many prisoners lodged in each other's jails.

 

The joint judicial committee will start again

 

According to the information received by ABP News, soon the Joint Judicial Committee formed between the two countries to meet the prisoners in each other's jails, know their condition and help them will be implemented again. Talks are going on between the officials of both countries in this regard. It is worth noting that due to the sourness in the relationship, this arrangement between the two countries was not active for the last few years. Sources in the Indian government also said that there has been no violation by Pakistan on the border ever since a renewed agreement has been reached between the armies of the two countries on strict adherence to the ceasefire. , which is a good thing.
