Pakistan optimistic on India talks despite pause

Pakistan's foreign minister on Wednesday said that he was optimistic about peace talks with India despite an Indian-imposed "pause" but expressed frustration that offers of help in the Mumbai investigation had been shunned. Qureshi said that "blame game" initiated by India could set peace efforts back to square one. He also added that an offer of a joint investigation and a high-level team to work with Indian investigators was still on the table.
