India-Pak trust deficit has finished

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar     

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on Sunday struck a positive note on the future of India-Pak relations, saying the “trust deficit is zero or it has shrunk to a large extent” after the meeting between two Prime Ministers in Maldives.
When Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh met in the Bhutanese capital of Thimpu in April 2010, they set the goals of reducing the trust deficit and improving the environment to make dialogue possible, Ms. Khar told a news conference at the Foreign Office.
Since the meeting of the premiers on the margins of the 17th SAARC Summit in the Maldives last week, the “trust deficit is zero or it has shrunk to a large extent” and the two countries now “need to start building on trust”, she said.
