India trapped in 'Cold War' mindset: Qureshi

Islamabad, Mar 4: Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has blamed India for not being serious in resolving issues through talks with Islamabad.

"Engaging in talks for the sake of talks will serve no purpose. India has to change its approach towards Pakistan which somehow continues to be anchored in the Cold War mindset," Qureshi said.

During a meeting with his visiting Norwegian counterpart Jonas Gahr Stor, Qureshi said Pakistan approached the Feb 25 foreign secretary level talks with India with an 'open mindset'.

Quershi further said, "Pakistan wanted its ties with the neighbouring country to normalise through meaningful dialogue."

"Pakistan is diligently pursuing the strategy of clearing, holding and rebuilding the war-affected areas," The Daily Times quoted Qureshi, as saying.
