Mohali, March 30 (IANS) Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and Yousuf Raza Gilani discussed a range of issues while watching the India-Pakistan World Cup semifinal here Wednesday with a view to take their re-ignited dialogue process forward, the Indian government said.
‘Indeed, this meeting today once again reaffirmed the intention of both governments to take forward the process of dialogue,’ Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao told a news conference here.
The India-Pakistan dialogue, she said, was a process to help ‘understand each other better. The goal is normalization of relations’.
Rao made the comments after Gilani and Manmohan Singh had dinner late evening at the Punjab Cricket Association stadium where Pakistan chased a target of 260 runs set by India — to decide who will enter the final.
