He said that all outstanding issues between Pakistan and India will come under discussion during foreign secretaries level talks, scheduled to be held on August 25.

"LoC, working boundary issue did come under discussion during our telephonic conversation with Indian FS (Sujata Singh)", Aizaz Chaudhry said.

"Our response was that Pakistan has accurate information that firing at working boundary was carried out from across the boundary", Foreign secretary said.

Aizaz said foreign secretaries of both countries will proceed with the dialogue process when they will meet.

Meanwhile, talking about the issue of terrorists hiding in Afghanistan, Chaudhry said, Pakistan expects that Kabul will not allow its territory to be used against Pakistan.
