India,Pak must build on Composite Dialogue: Rao

The Foreign secretary said,We seek a stable,peaceful,economically progressing Pakistan. Secondly,we sincerely desire peace with Pakistan. Thirdly,we have to learn to live with the asymmetries in our sizes and capabilities. Such differences of scale should not deter us from working with each other. Pakistan should shed its insecurity on these counts. Fourthly,India is a neighbour which has exhibited true restraint despite misguided and serious provocations. Fifthly,the entry of radical ideology into the domain of religion,and,the consequent implications for peace and security between India and Pakistan,must be prevented. Radical,terrorist forces are also increasingly battling for larger space in a deathly struggle that seeks to overwhelm moderate,democratic forces in Pakistani civil society. The writing on the wall must be seen. For bridging what is called the trust deficit between the two countries,India is ready to address all issues of mutual concern through dialogue and peaceful negotiations.
