Islamabad, Jan 3(ANI): Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has welcomed Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna's statement that India is willing to discuss all issues with Pakistan through bilateral dialogue.

In an exclusive interview with PTV, Qureshi said that Pakistan and India could resolve all outstanding issues through dialogue.

Deadlock in talks following the 2008 Mumbai incident is not a prudent policy, he added.
