India not serious to solve issues: Akram ZakiFormer Secretary General Foreign Affairs Akram Zaki while talking to Dunya News said that it is a good thing that the talks are resumed. India ended the talks process after Mumbai attacks. Now, there is world pressure on India and Pakistans importance has also been admitted at the international level and India had also pressure from Kashmir side.
