Islamabad: India and Pakistan have been engaged in “back channel” talks in order to break the stalemate in the relationship between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, a media report said citing official sources. India, the sources said, is inclined to the re-engagement but reluctant to offer something that would help Pakistan resume the dialogue, The Express Tribune reported. Pakistan could import wheat from India on a much lower cost, given the less transportation and other logistic charges. Pakistan is currently in talks with Russia to import at least 2 million tonnes of wheat. However, Pakistani officials are ruling out the possibility of importing wheat from India given the current status of bilateral ties, The Express Tribune report added.
