Top diplomats were scheduled to meet in the Pakistani capital on Friday to set out a roadmap for talks on settling the Kashmir dispute and other irritants in their ties.
Mr Vikas Swarup, India’s External Affairs Ministry spokesman, told reporters that the meeting will now be held in “the very near future”.
India welcomed Pakistan’s announcement on Wednesday of the arrest of several people from an outlawed Islamic militant group believed to be linked to the assault in Pathankot close to India’s border with Pakistan. Seven Indian soldiers and six attackers died.
“The (Pakistani) statement conveys that considerable progress has been made in the investigations being carried out against terrorist elements linked to the Pathankot incident,” Indian spokesman Swarup said.
“The action against the Jaish-e-Mohammad (group) is an important and positive first step,” he said.
He also said India was looking forward to a possible visit by a team of Pakistani investigating agencies to probe the attack on the air base.
