Both sides also talked about the recent terrorist attacks in India's financial hub of Mumbai. Strongly denouncing Mumbai attacks, Qureshi said Pakistan extended deep sympathy and condolence to the victims' families and Pakistan was willing to offer all necessary assistance to India. Yang also strongly condemned the terrorist attacks, saying that Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has sent a message of condolences to his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh over the incident.

These measures are in the fundamental interest of both Pakistan and India, Yang added.
