Pakistan on Thursday described its relationship with India as "difficult" and said New Delhi lacked clarity in its policy on ties with Islamabad which is slowing down progress on resolving bilateral issues.

Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal said that Prime Minister Imran Khan's letter to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in September 2018 laid down a clear roadmap for starting negotiations with India but it agreed to it one day and reneged the next day.

India has made it clear to Pakistan that cross-border terrorism and talks cannot go hand-in-hand.

He also accused India of lacking clarity in policy on Pakistan.

"If there is lack of clarity, confusion or haze in policy, it is on the Indian side and only they can shed light on it."
