The meeting came days before the two countries hold technical-level talks over the Kartarpur Saheb Corridor on 14 July. Both countries have promised to operationalise the corridor before the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev in November keeping in mind the sentiments of the Sikh community.

On the terrorism front, Pakistan recently registered more than 20 cases against JuD chief and Mumbai attack plotter Hafiz Saeed and his aides.

However, India was not impressed with External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar describing the action against Saeed as “cosmetic,” and calling for verifiable, credible, and irreversible action by Islamabad against terrorism.

The spokesperson also ruled out a meeting between External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi on the margins of the Commonwealth foreign ministers’ meeting in London on 10 July.
