"I am happy to visit Pakistan. I wish the people of Pakistan peace and progress. India would like to see a stable and prosperous Pakistan. I believe that the two sovereign countries – India and Pakistan – can and need to live respectfully and in peace, as
good neighbours. Both the countries also need to work closely together to ensure a brighter future for their people. To this end, India remains committed to build a relationship of trust and mutually beneficial all-round cooperation with Pakistan.”
