On board PM's Special Aircraft: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Saturday said his job would
be "well done" if he succeeded in improving the relations between
India and Pakistan.
Manmohan Singh, who was returning home after his five-day trip
abroad, was asked by accompanying journalists what would be the five
things he would like to achieve in the relations with Pakistan.
"Five would be too much," Manmohan Singh quipped, a smile on his
face.
"If I can succeed in normalizing relations between India and
Pakistan, as they should prevail between two normal states, I will
consider my job well done," he said.
Last month, Manmohan Singh had invited his Pakistani counterpart
Yousuf Raza Gilani to watch the India-Pakistan cricket World Cup
semi-final at Mohali, giving a diplomatic boost to normalising the
ties between the two countries.
New Delhi had suspended composite dialogue with Islamabad after the
26/11 Mumbai attack that left 166 people dead. India says militants
from Pakistan orchestrated the mayhem and massacre in Mumbai.
