Published December 23, 2004

NEW DELHI, Dec 22: Indian Foreign Minister Kunwar Natwar Singh on Wednesday rejected opposition charges of a drift in India's Pakistan policy, saying the dialogue process was on track and making progress.

He said Indian Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran and his Pakistani counterpart Riaz Khokhar are slated to meet in Islamabad on December 27 and 28 where they will review progress in the composite dialogue and discuss issues related to peace and security as well as Jammu and Kashmir in a "substantive manner".

Mr Singh told parliament he planned to visit Pakistan in February.
