Last month, during his address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Nawaz proposed a four-point plan for resolution of the Kashmir issue.

The Foreign Office spokesman Qazi Khalilullah had yesterday said Pakistan is ready for talks with India but its pre-conditions are not acceptable.

Khalilullah maintained that the four-point initiative presented by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at the UNGA last month is the way forward for reducing tensions and the resolution of outstanding disputes between Pakistan and India.

Khalilullah had said the purpose of handing over dossiers to the UN Secretary General was to inform him about the Indian involvement in fomenting terrorism in Pakistan.

He said that Pakistan will continue to inform UN about its concerns in this regard in future as well.

The COAS and PM also discussed progress made during Operation Zarb-i-Azb so far, and discussed the security situation at the Pak-Afghan border and in North Waziristan.
