Kayani made the statement on Monday during talks with a senior Chinese minister.

The positive statement is in line with the talks between senior Indian and Pakistan military officials last week on the hotline linking both the countries.

Relations between the two countries went downhill after India demanded action against the terrorists, who executed the Mumbai terror attack, in which 165 people were killed and scores injured.

India has also demanded that Pakistan hand over the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) members responsible for planning and executing the Mumbai carnage. Concrete evidence by India as well as other countries including America has helped the Indian cause for action against non-state actors responsible for this heinous crime.

Pakistani army had last week deployed troops along the Indian border after tension escalated between the two neighbours, who have fought three wars since 1947.

To defuse the situation, Pakistan’s important ally China had sent a senior minister to discuss the matter and bring some calm to the strained nerves. Both America and Russia have also asked both the nuclear armed countries to stay calm and resolve the matter peacefully.
