Islamabad : The Indo-Pak tension, which led to threats of possible war between the two adversaries, has reduced with positive developments within the last 48 hours, said an official here on Tuesday.
Federal Foreign Minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, in a policy statement, telecast live on televisions, cited contacts made by the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Chinese officials, and also the meeting between officials of the military of the two sides and of higher Pakistani officials with US authorities in Washington.
He said the recent contacts have given positive signals, adding that coercion only complicate matters.
He also assured India of full support in investigating the Mumbai attacks, stressed on the need to resolve misunderstandings through diplomatic and direct channels, and also laid emphasis on the continuation of dialogue.
He also suggested India further diffuse tension by ending a state of red alert in the air-force and relocating forces deployed at the border to peacetime locations.
Threat of war was looming recently between India and Pakistan after the two sides put their security forces on red alert and deployed forces along the borders.
