India today said that it would explore all options to normalise relations with Pakistan and its intentions are “very transparent” in this direction.
“With Pakistan, speculation will never stop and I wouldn’t like to enlist myself in the club of speculators. All I can convey to you is that India’s intentions are very honest, India’s intentions are very transparent,” the External Affairs Minister, Mr S.M. Krishna, told reporters here.
“Dr Manmohan Singh wants good relationship, the people of India want good relationship with Pakistan and we certainly will make every effort from our side to see that normalisation of relationship as good neighbours could be possible and we will explore all options to do that,” he said.
His remarks came a few days after India and Pakistan failed to sign a liberalised visa agreement, agreed on between Dr Manmohan Singh and the Pakistan President, Mr Asif Ali Zardari, in April.
India expressed disappointment over it saying that it had gone fully prepared to the Home Secretary-level meeting in Islamabad where the visa deal was to be signed last week.
