ISLAMABAD, April 30: A high-level meeting has been convened on Friday to review Pakistan’s national policy on India in the wake of recent peace overtures by the leaders of the two countries, sources told Dawn on Wednesday.

The meeting will be presided over by President Gen Pervez Musharraf and attended by Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali, foreign minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri and foreign secretary Riaz Khokhar among others.

The representatives of all the key government institutions that play a role in shaping the country’s foreign policy will be present at the meeting,” sources said. In the backdrop of Mr Jamali’s ice-breaking 15-minute telephonic conversation with his Indian counterpart Atal Behari Vajpayee on Monday, the meeting acquires special significance.

“The meeting will look at all aspects of India-Pakistan relations and may consider some confidence-building measures to further reduce tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours,” sources said.
