ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan's foreign minister aims to sign a deal on nuclear security during a visit to India beginning Tuesday to underpin peace talks after a deadly attack on a cross-border train, an official said.
Pakistan is hoping for progress in several fields during Khursheed Kasuri's visit, his spokesman Tasnim Aslam said. An agreement on nuclear risk reduction that has been discussed for several months "will hopefully be signed," she said.
"There are a number of agreements that have been in the works for the last five, six months. The texts were finalized. Somehow, the Indians are not able to complete their procedures," she said.

Unfazed by blasts, India-Pakistan talks tomorrow
Mukherjee and Kasuri will co-chair a meeting of the revived joint commission that will cover a broad array of topics including agriculture, health, science and technology, information technology and telecommunications, environment and tourism.
Kasuri will also call on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and discuss with him a host of issues including terrorism and the disputes over Kashmir and the Siachen glacier.
After talks between Kasuri and Mukherjee, the two sides will ink an agreement on reducing the risk from accidents relating to nuclear weapons.
Two more agreements on preventing incidents at sea and quick return of inadvertent border crossers are likely to be finalised.
Mukherjee and Kasuri will also discuss liberalisation of the visa regime to promote people-to-people contacts and the re-opening of consulates in Mumbai and Karachi.
