NEW DELHI. Pakistan on Wednesday refuted media reports of a possible Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) level talks with India, reported ANI.
"No meeting of DGMOs of Pakistan and India is being considered as of now as reported by a section of media. The news is baseless and misleading," read a statement from Pakistan Ministry of Defence, Office of Assistant Director Media.
This clarification from Pakistan's defence ministry comes in the backdrop of several media reports that Pakistan was examining a proposal for a DGMO-level meeting with India after a gap of four years to reduce tensions along the Line of Control.
The last telephonic conversation between the two DGMOs took place in November last year, following a request by the Pakistani side.
Pakistan-India DGMOs have a frequent hotline contact, but they last met face-to-face four years ago at Wagah, a village which serves as a transit terminal between Lahore and Amritsar.
The December 24, 2013 Wagah meeting had taken place after a break of 14 years. That meeting too was held to discuss ways to ensure peace along the LoC and the Working Boundary.
Despite the rising number of unprovoked
ceasefire violations by Pakistan, it has remained in touch with India, most noticeably in the form of the ongoing engagement between NSA Ajit Doval and his counterpart Nasir Janjua.
