New Delhi. Backdoor talks between India and Pakistan were recently claimed in some media reports during a security conference in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Now India has cleared the position on this. India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has rejected the news of Track-2 meeting between India and Pakistan. He said, I have seen the reports and I am not aware of them. Dozens of such programs are held on different topics in many places around the world. There is nothing new or special in these programs. As far as we are concerned, these are private events organized by private parties. In our view there is nothing official in this.

Vikram Misri said that I do not know about Pakistan, but if we talk about Indian government, there is no official participation or support in these tours. People from India who participate in these programs – whether they are retired diplomats, retired military officers or members of civil society, speak and present their views. They do not and cannot in any way represent the view of the Government of India. We don’t really pay any attention to these programs. In our view they have no special importance.

Claim in media report

Let us tell you that according to the news going on in the media, a meeting was held between India and Pakistan in separate sessions in Colombo in which Indian Army Chief General MM Naravane, President of India Foundation and former National General Secretary of BJP Ram Madhav and former diplomat Ruchi Ghanshyam participated. While from Pakistan side, Director General of Foreign Ministry Sajjad Haider Khan, former Ambassador to America Sherry Rehman and retired Major General Isfandiar Ali Khan Pataudi participated.
