Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said in an interview to a private TV channel that Islamabad could also set a number of preconditions for starting the dialogue,but it believes in settlement of bilateral issues with India through a positive negotiation process.

The ball is in Indias court. We are ready for a proper process of composite dialogue, the Daily Times quoted Basit,as saying. He added that Pakistan shared Indias desire to resume dialogue.
