The US on Monday welcomed the joint statement by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf as "tangible breakthroughs" that will allow better people-to-people contacts between both countries.

The agreements outlined in the joint statement issued by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Musharraf after their meeting in New Delhi are "tangible breakthroughs that will allow for more extensive people to people contacts and will contribute to improved prosperity," a senior State Department official said.

"We welcome the commitments made over the weekend by India and Pakistan as outlined in their joint statement, including enhanced interaction and family reunification across the Line of Control, expanding the frequency and type of transport such as bus transport and truck transport they talked about, and also their initiatives for promoting cross-border trade," the official added.
