Pakistan's Foreign Office Spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah on Thursday said that the nation is committed to maintain good relations with all its neighbouring countries.
"Peace and tranquillity along the line of control is in the interest of both sides. Pakistan wishes to maintain good relations with all its neighbouring countries and that require a peaceful atmosphere. We are committed to that," he said.
Speaking on the meeting with the Hurriyat leaders, Khalilullah said: "Meeting with Kashmiri leaders is common practice before consultations and talks between the two countries whenever they take place."
There have been more than 70 such violations over the last two months. We have been regularly protesting to the Indian side through their High Commission here on such violations.
The separatists, Yasin Malik, Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, have been invited to the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi.
The Hurriyat leaders will now travel to Delhi to meet with Pakistan NSA Sartaj Aziz, who will arrive in India on Sunday to hold talks on terror with his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval.

The meeting between the top security officials will see the recommencement of dialogue between the two countries after a year.
