New Delhi: In a move that indicates Pakistan’s push for talks to break the ice with India amid border tensions and terror attacks in J&K by Pakistan-backed militants, Pakistan PM’s adviser on foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz advanced his travel plans and reached Amritsar shortly after 7 pm on Saturday evening by a special flight for the two-day Heart of Asia (HoA) Summit on Afghanistan that began there on Saturday with official-level talks.

Mr Aziz, who was supposed to reach Amritsar on Sunday, also decided to attend the special dinner on Saturday night for the HoA delegates that is being attended by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.

With speculation rife on whether the two countries will have bilateral talks on the sidelines of the conclave, Mr Aziz is again expected to meet Mr Modi on Sunday
