Further it was also agreed upon for the immediate resumption of the composite dialogue between the Foreign Secretaries "at the earliest". With a direct acknowledge that the peace process must be maintained and its success was not only important for both the countries by also for a bright and prosperous future of the entire South Asian Region.

Under the Press Statement issued both the leaders reiterated their commitments and determination to implement the Joint Statements of January 6, 2004, September 24, 2004, April 18, 2005 and September 14, 2005 which was signed between India and Pakistan then. The commitment given by the honorable President of Pakistan in the joint statement issued of honoring the earlier joint statements of 2004 and 2005 shows that Pakistan has accepted these to be international agreements against terror which needs to be honored upon

On Jammu and Kashmir it was decided by both the countries to continue the "joint search for mutually acceptable options for a peaceful negotiated settlement of all issues between India and Pakistan, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, in a sincere and purposeful manner." Referring to the "useful discussions" on Jammu and Kashmir, the joint statement went on to say "there is a need to build on convergence’s and narrow down divergences." This is again a very significant and healthy development as for the first time Pakistan has accepted that Jammu and Kashmir is not “The Issue” or “The Core Issue” but one of the very important issue which not only needs urgent attention but also needs to be solved taking into account each others concerns and sentiments. This is a U-turn by Pakistan from its earlier stated position of Kashmir being the core issue.
