Pakistan Foreign Office has said that the investigators, who visited India to probe the Pathankot attack, received limited cooperation from the Indian authorities.

The Foreign Office in its statement, which comes almost a week after the members of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) reached home following the probe, said that no conclusions had been reached in the ongoing investigations.

In a detail report about the activities undertaken during the March 27-April 1 visit, the Foreign Office said the JIT received a presentation from the Indian National Investigation Agency (NIA), which was leading the probe.

The Foreign Office also said that the JIT briefed the NIA on investigations made in Pakistan, in addition to visiting the crime scene and interviewing some of the witnesses.

"The JIT visited the crime scene and also recorded the statements of some witnesses. However, witnesses belonging to the

Indian security forces were not produced before it," the Dawn quoted the Foreign Office statement as saying.

The Foreign Office further said that the visit of the JIT took place in the context of the cooperative approach being pursued by the government of Pakistan as part of its commitment to effectively fight terrorism in all its forms.
