Islamabad, Sep 19 (Xinhua) The foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India would meet at the earliest to review the peace process in pursuance of the joint statement of President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the foreign office said Tuesday.

This would be followed by resumption of the next round of the composite dialogue, Foreign Office spokesperson Tasneem Aslam said at the weekly news briefing here.

She rejected the assumption that Pakistan had in any way moved away from its position on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. She said the status quo or making the Line of Control (LoC) permanent was no solution.

The spokesperson emphasised that the Kashmir issue was not about a piece of territory but destiny of the Kashmiri people. She said that any mutually acceptable solution should also be acceptable to the Kashmiri people.

To a question about the Indian prime minister's remarks regarding recent terror attacks in India, the spokesperson said that in the absence of any evidence these remained mere allegations.

She said that if India had any information in this regard it should share it with Pakistan.

To another question regarding joint institutional mechanism to counter terrorism as agreed between Musharraf and Manmohan Singh during their meet in Havana Saturday, she said the basic purpose was to help each other in preventing terrorist acts.

Commenting on Musharraf's meeting with US President George W. Bush this week, she said the two leaders would review the work done by a number of working groups established following Bush's Pakistan visit this year.

The two leaders would also discuss bilateral relations, regional situation, situation in Afghanistan, Pakistan-India peace process, the Middle East and other global issues, she said.
