Pakistan on Monday asked India to share information about the involvement of any Pakistani national in acts of terror.

"The joint anti-terror mechanism is now operational and India should share information about any Pakistanis, who are involved in carrying out acts of terror there," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasneem Aslam said.

Islamabad and New Delhi agreed over the weekend, during External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee's visit to Islamabad, that the first meeting of the joint anti-terror mechanism would be held before the end of March.

The decision to form the mechanism was taken at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's meeting with President Pervez Musharraf on the sidelines of the NAM summit at Havana in September to identify and implement counter-terrorism initiatives and investigations.

India has been asking Pakistan to hand over most-wanted terrorist and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and several others, including Hizbul Mujahideen Chief Syed Salahuddin.

The issue came up for discussion during the last round of talks between interior secretaries of the two countries, which were held in Islamabad in May 2006 as part of the ongoing composite dialogue process.

Pakistan Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah had told his Indian counterpart V K Duggal that Ibrahim was not a Pakistani national and efforts should, therefore, be directed against tracing him out in India.

An Indian delegation had also handed over a list of 38 wanted people to Pakistan, which also included name of Dawood Ibrahim. About Mukherjee's visit, Aslam said it provided another opportunity to the two countries to review the ongoing composite dialogue process.

While reading out decisions taken during his meeting with Khurshid Kasuri, Mukherjee had told reporters in Islamabad on Saturday that the fourth round of the composite dialogue will be held on 13-14 March.

Aslam said meeting of the sub-commission on information and education will be held in New Delhi next month, followed by meeting of the Joint Economic Commission. The JEC has four sub-commissions, which review ways to further reinforce cooperation between the two countries in areas of environment, agriculture, science and technology, telecommunications, tourism, health and information and education.

The sub-commission on information and education will meet for the first time.
