28 06 2008

NEW DELHI, June 27: Foreign ministers of Pakistan and India on Friday announced a fifth round of their Composite Dialogue from July 21, sanguine that the opposition parties in both countries backed the peace process.

�Whether it is the Congress-led coalition in Delhi or it is the PPP-led coalition in Pakistan, major players whether it is the BJP, the Opposition here, or major opposition parties in Pakistan, there is a virtual consensus on movement and normalisation,� Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi said.

The minister had to cut down his three-day trip and return to Pakistani late on Friday following the death of his mother-in-law.

The minister, who addressed a joint press conference with Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee, said: �We must seize this opportunity, we have the right environment.�
