India postpones Kartarpur Corridor talks at last minute
India postponed on Friday the Kartarpur Corridor meeting with Pakistan without consulting with the country, few days before the second round of talks between the two neighbouring countries was scheduled to be held.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mohammad Faisal announced on his Twitter handle that India has postponed the upcoming meeting. He wrote that Pakistan regrets the decision by the neighbor when they had jointly agreed on March 14, to meet again on April 2.
"Last minute postponement without seeking views from Pakistan and especially after the productive technical meeting on 19 March is incomprehensible," the FO spokesperson added.
#Pakistan regrets the Indian decision to postpone the upcoming #Kartarpur meeting, jointly agreed by both sides on 14 March 2019. The meeting was to discuss & find consensus on outstanding issues.
