New Delhi: India today (July 24, 2004) voiced disappointment over certain comments made by Pakistan after the talks External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh had with President Pervez Musharraf in Islamabad, saying they do not reflect the comprehensiveness of the discussions.

"We are disappointed at the tone and substance of some of the comments made in the press release issued by the Pakistan Foreign office yesterday" after the Singh-Musharraf meeting, External Affairs Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna told in New Delhi. "The press release does not reflect the comprehensiveness of the discussions," he said.

He was asked about the Pakistani statement in which it quoted Musharraf as having told Singh that there should be simultaneous progress on all bilateral issues including Kashmir within a reasonable timeframe.

Musharraf, according to the statement, told Singh "it is important to address this issue with sincerity with a view to reaching a final settlement that accorded fully with the legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiris within a 'reasonable timeframe'".
