    Pakistan leaders remember Vajpayee for his Indo-Pak peace agenda

    The Pakistan Government and its top leaders have paid respects to Atal Bihari Vajpayee and said the former Indian Prime Minister contributed to bringing a change in bilateral ties and remained a key supporter of regional cooperation for development. Pakistan Prime Minister-in-waiting Imran Khan also expressed condolences over Vajpayee's demise, saying his efforts for India-Pakistan peace will always be remembered. Here's more.

    Vajpayee, one of India's most charismatic leaders and inspirational orators, died yesterday at the age of 93. His death was announced by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) hospital in Delhi where he was admitted on June 11 with a variety of ailments.

"As Foreign Minister, Vajpayee strived to open up ways towards normalization of relations between India and Pakistan and had successfully taken this agenda to new heights after assuming the office of PM," he said. He further said, "Only by creating peace between the two countries, we can truly recognize the service of Vajpayee."
