ISLAMABAD, Sep 9 (Agencies): Pakistan's wish that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should visit this country as early as possible has been renewed by Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani, who said "our doors are open for him always".
He said Pakistan would be very happy to welcome Singh as and when he decides to undertake a visit to the country by accepting an invitation extended to him by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf.
"We hope that the Prime Minister (Singh) will come. Our doors are open for him always," Jilani told reporters.
He made the remarks after talks here yesterday between External Affairs Minister S M Krishna and his Pakistani counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar.
Speaking shortly thereafter, Krishna told Indian reporters late last night that Singh's possible visit to this country was not being linked to Pakistan's prosecution of the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
