India, Pak 'mutually' decide to defer talks



Islamabad and New Delhi on Thursday gave a rare exhibition of how consultations and mutual agreement can help steer tricky diplomatic negotiations without causing embarrassment to either side.

The two governments announced that their Foreign Secretary level talks have been postponed by a week or two.

They stressed that the talks have not been cancelled, but postponed after mutual consultations by the respective foreign secretaries. India also welcomed the visit of a Special Investigation Team from Pakistan to probe the Pathankot airbase attack of January 2 and offered "all necessary cooperation" to it.

New Delhi lauded Islamabad for having detained a dozen members of terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).
