"We hope that the process of dialogue will continue," Musharraf, who is attending the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, was quoted as saying by BBC.

On Indo-Pak ties, he said the relationship would progress 'only if we show sincerity and resolve and also, may I say, boldness'. He said the leaders of both countries have to stand up to the group opposing normalisation of ties.
