A joint statement about the outcome of the talks was expected to be issued by Pakistan's Foreign Ministry later on Wednesday. The announcement came shortly after India's cricket team arrived in Pakistan's eastern city of Lahore for a much-anticipated six-week tour that will be its first of Pakistan in 14 years.
