India has sent messages to Pakistan over the past year expressing a desire for conversation, Prime Minister Imran Khan’s adviser on national security and strategic policy planning Moeed Yusuf told The Wire in a TV interview with the Indian news portal on Tuesday. However, Pakistan would like to assess India’s intent, lest it uses a future dialogue to tell the world that all is well between the two and, implicitly, with Kashmir.

“In the past year we have got messages for a desire to conversation,” Mr Yusuf said. “But why is there a desire, in my reading? To talk, to get somewhere”.

He said Pakistan would not want India to use it merely to say to the world that all’s settled and everything is agreed. “There has to be an enabling environment to talk.”
