Pakistan is to choose between the two dates given by India.
India has proposed to Pakistan February 15 and February 16 for the meet of engineers of the two countries for the Kartarpur corridor. India has Zero Point of the Kartarpur corridor or Wagha Attari as the venue for the meeting. This will largely be a technical one day meet. Pakistan is to choose between the two dates given by India.
India had proposed the engineers meet on February 7 while accepting Pakistan's date for an India Pakistan officials meet on March 13.
In a tweet, India's Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, "For expeditious realisation of Kartarpur Corridor, India has also proposed technical level discussions between engineers on both sides without waiting for the discussion on the modalities."
He added, "We hope Pakistan would positively respond & confirm coordinates of crossing point as well"
India had earlier proposed February 26 and March 7 for India Pakistan officials meet on the corridor. Pakistan responded by suggesting March 13 as the date for the meet which was accepted by India.
India hopes all the legal modalities with Pakistan for the corridor will be over within a month. Earlier this week, 2nd meet on Kartarpur corridor took place at the Home Ministry which was chaired by Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba and attended by Punjab Chief Secretary, Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria & DG BSF RK Misra.
Meanwhile speaking to Pakistani media, Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria termed the Kartarpur corridor as a "corridor of faith" that will build trust between the 2 countries. He said "I am certain this vision will drive the relationship between India and Pakistan".
The development comes even as India and Pakistan cleared each other's pending diplomatic and official visas. The issue of visas for air advisors was agreed after intervention at the high commissioner level.
The agreement on India Pakistan date for corridor modalities and visa approval is significant given the fact that tension between the 2 countries was high after Pakistani FM participated in a number of anti-India events including "Kashmir solidarity day" in London.
