India, Pakistan: New visa agreement


India and Pakistan signed the much anticipated liberalised visa agreement, introducing for the first time group tourist and pilgrim visas, separate visa for businessmen and visa on arrival for those over 65 years of age.

The agreement, signed between External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna and Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik, will replace a 38-year-old restrictive visa agreement and ensure time-bound visa approval and greater people to people contacts and will boost trade.

This agreement was signed in S.M. Krishna's Pak visit.
