`The most important thing is the spirit behind it'

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has welcomed the "spirit" behind the first formal talks between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Hurriyat leaders and said this is the only way the peace process could move forward.

"The most important thing is the spirit behind it," Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid M Kasuri, told reporters here on Wednesday after inaugurating the South Asia Media Center of the South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA). The center with all modern communication facilities is intended to play the role of a bridge among the South Asian countries."For durable peace, there has to be a resolution of the Kashmir dispute. And there are three parties (Pakistan, India and Kashmiris) and we want all of them to sit across the table," he said.
