ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday agreed to India’s proposal for a meeting between technical experts from both sides on the Kartarpur Corridor on April 16, Geo News reported.Dr Mohammad Faisal, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced the development via Twitter. “Continuing with Pakistan’s spirit of constructive engagement, we have agreed to the Indian proposal for a technical meeting on 16 April,” he said. “We expect positivity from India so that the corridor becomes [a] reality for 550th [birth anniversary of Guru Nanak] celebrations.”The development comes after India postponed a Kartarpur meeting which was to be held on April 2 on the Pakistani side. While announcing its decision to postpone the meeting, New Delhi had said it had “sought clarifications from Pakistan on key proposals put forward by India at the last meeting held in Attari to discuss the modalities of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor”.The statement by the Indian ministry had added that “the next meeting on the modalities can be scheduled at an appropriate time after receiving Pakistan’s response”.India had also proposed in its statement that the infrastructure development for the corridor should go forward and “in an expeditious manner.”Pakistan, in a statement, had regretted India’s decision, saying: “Last minute postponement without seeking views from Pakistan and especially after the productive technical meeting on March 19 is incomprehensible.”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/com/cwEr/~4/LVG8G4WxofU
