India Ready To Offer Seats For Pak Student

Filed under:

India is willing to offer seats to Pakistani students in institutions of higher learning such as the IITs and management institutes, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said today.

He saw tremendous potential in Indian and Pakistani scientists working together in the field of bio-technology and attached great importance to promoting cooperation in the field of education.

Singh told Indian and Pakistani editors here that he had mentioned this broadly to President Pervez Musharraf during their talks here but he could not do more in a meeting lasting only two hours.

Responding to a question about restrictions on the exchange of newspapers, books and magazines between the two countries, Prime Minister said that in the age of internet and communication revolution such restrictions made no sense.

When a Pakistani editor complained about the difficulties in journalists obtaining visas to visit India, Singh said that all irritants affecting people-to-people contact should be removed.

External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh, who was present, promised to have visa difficulties sorted out.
