External Affairs Minister S M Krishna left here today for New Delhi after a three-day visit during which he held talks with top Pakistani leadership.

Krishna, the first External Affairs Minister to visit Pakistan after the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, held extensive talks with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi on several issues, including terrorism.

He also met President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yosuf Raza Gilani. The Pakistani side assured him that Islamabad would pursue leads from Pakistani-American David Headley so as to "bring all the perpetrators of that horrific crime to justice."

Krishna also held talks with leaders from different political parties in Pakistan, including senior PML-N leader and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to whom he presented a 'chaddar' to be placed on the revered shrine of Data Darbar which was attacked by terrorists recently.
