"A delegation of senior officials will visit Pakistan before the end of this month for talks on facilitating co-operation between the two countries on providing relief to the victims of the earthquake," Spokesman of Indian External Affairs Ministry, Navtej Sarna told the newsmen here.
Both the countries, he said, had made specific proposals to facilitate such co-operation across the Line of Control and these were being examined by the two governments.
These proposals "will also be discussed in the talks,"
Sarna added. He, however, said the composition of the delegation had not yet been finalised.
About India's proposal to open three points at the LoC from Wednesday for providing relief to quake victims of Azad Kashmir, he said: "it was not a deadline" but the time was specified as New Delhi wanted to be ready to have the relief centres in position by this date.
