<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: Foreign secretary Vikram Misri dismissed reports in the past few months about an India-Pakistan \u201ctrack II\u201d dialogue, saying India takes no cognisance of such events that don\u2019t hold much value. Responding to a media query in Seychelles, Misri said dozens of these events take place around the world on a variety of subjects. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing new, nothing special about these events. As far as we are concerned, these are private events organised by private parties,\u201d said the foreign secretary. \u201cI cannot speak for the govt of Pakistan, but as far as govt of India is concerned, there is no official participation, no official support or involvement, in these visits,\u201d Misri reiterated. He said anybody from India who is participating in these events \u2014 retired diplomats, retired military officials, members of civil society \u2014 speak for themselves and represent their own point of view. \u201cThey do not in any way, they cannot in any way represent the view of govt of India,\u201d he said.We really take no cognisance of these events. They really don\u2019t hold much value, as far as we are concerned,\u201d foreign secretary Vikram Misri said. Indian officials have maintained \u2014 since a report about \u201ctrack II\u201d dialogue first appeared on a news channel a few months ago \u2014 that govt has nothing to do with the talks in which retired officials participate in private capacities. Indian officials stopped participating in such events organised by an international think tank after the Pahalgam terrorist attack last year in April.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
