The opening of the Kartarpur border crossing for Sikh pilgrims was linked with the start of dialogue between India and Pakistan, the Foreign Office said Thursday, asserting that dialogue is the only way forward to resolve issues and disputes between the two countries.
Foreign Office spokesperson Muhammad Faisal told reporters that Pakistan was pursuing the policy of peaceful neighbourhood.
Responding to a question about opening of the Kartarpur Corridor for Sikh pilgrims, Faisal said "nothing can happen if there are no talks between the two countries."
Faisal said that "the head of a professional army should not make such controversial claims."
