IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
New Delhi, Aug 15, IRNA -- Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh Wednesday conveyed to his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif that New Delhi would keep pursuing peace, friendship and cooperation with Islamabad.
In his Independence Day greetings, Singh extended good wishes to Sharif for building a peaceful, stable and prosperous Pakistan.
He told Sharif that India would remain 'committed to pursuing peace, friendship and cooperation' with Pakistan.
Singh's commitment to peace and friendship came against the backdrop of killing of five Indian soldiers by Pakistan Army in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir last week, pti reported.
After the incident, regular skirmishes have been taking place between the militaries of the two countries along the Line of Control and International Border.
Earlier in the day, Parliament rejected the Pakistan National Assembly resolution, saying it leveled 'absolutely baseless and unfounded' allegations against India and asserted the Pakistan Army was actually involved in 'unprovoked' attack on the Line of Control (LoC) last week.
