Islamabad: Pakistan on October 22 said it was disappointed that India's fresh proposals to normalise ties did not include its offer to resume dialogue but promised to respond positively to any measure "genuinely designed to improve relations".

Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman in a brief statement said Islamabad has taken note of a series of proposals announced by India.

He said that Pakistani response to "any proposal that is substantive and unconditional and genuinely designed to improve relations will as always be positive".

The spokesman, however, said that Pakistan was "disappointed that while making these proposals, India has simultaneously reiterated its rejection of Pakistan's offer to resume substantive and sustained dialogue to resolve all issues, notably the Jammu and Kashmir dispute".

"We hope that India will reconsider its position on the resumption of the composite talks as some of the proposals made by India are already integral to the composite dialogue process."

A detailed response would come later, Pakistan Foreign Office officials said.
