ISLAMABAD, Sept. 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Pakistani
President General Pervez Musharraf has said that the composite dialogue process
between his country and India is moving forward, private Geo television reported
Monday.
"The process is moving forward and whenever there would be a concrete and solid advancement, it
would be made public," Musharraf said in an interview with the television.
There are some confidentiality regarding the view
point of both parties, he said, adding "the discussion is going on and there is
no blockage."
Musharraf noted Indian foreign minister will visit
Pakistan and that there will be more discussion during his visit.
He said he has invited Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh to visit Pakistan and Singh has accepted the invitation.
"All these moves are focused to keep the dialogue
process moving towards its final destination," Musharraf said.
Musharraf disclosed during his meeting with US
President GeorgeW.Bush on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last week,
Bush was asked to use his influence to move the composite dialogue process
advance so that Pakistan and India could bilaterally settle their disputes.
Bush has ensured that he is supportive of the
composite dialogue and will play his role to facilitate the forward movement of
the process, Musharraf said.
Pakistan and India began the composite dialogue in
early 2004 to settle all their outstanding issues including Kashmir. Their
foreign ministers will meet in Islamabad early October to review the progress of
the second round of dialogue and decide when to start the next round of talks.
