India and Pakistan secretaries meet

India and Pakistan say they are still committed to the process of dialogue which began with last month's summit in Agra.

The statement came after a meeting in Colombo between the Indian and Pakistani foreign secretaries, Chokila Iyer and Inamul Haq - the first official exchange since the breakdown of the Agra summit.

The two secretaries met for an hour on the sidelines of a meeting of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.
