New Delhi: Pakistan Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali will soon announce confidence-building measures to improve ties with India, Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri said on May 5 night.

"We have taken decisions. Prime Minister Jamali will announce them. It won't be too long," Kasuri told CNN's "Q and A" programme, adding Pakistan was "prepared to go the whole hog".

Giving some indications of the CBMs that are expected to be announced, Kasuri said, "We want to encourage people-to-people contacts."

On India's proposal for resuming snapped air links, he said 99 per cent of the people on both sides could not afford air travel.

Pakistan is prepared to go much further by increasing people-to-people contacts by opening road and rail links, he said.

"We will play the pitch as Prime Minister Vajpayee wants - on the fast or slow track," Kasuri said drawing on cricket parlance.
