“Pakistan’s decision is unfortunate. India did not set any preconditions.”
“We only reiterated that Pakistan respect the spirit of the Simla & Ufa Agreements to which it was already committed,” the spokesperson said in two tweets, shortly after the Pakistan Foreign Ministry made the announcement in Islamabad.
A statement by the Pakistan Foreign Ministry had said, “Pakistan reiterates that the scheduled NSA level talks cannot be held on the basis of the preconditions set by India.”
