I am directed to inform you that your diplomatic passport has been prepared
and is ready in the Foreign Office. The passport of Mr. Amir Hyder Sayed
is also ready.
So far the response from the other party has not been very encouraging.
The means of communication being somewhat circuitous, delays occur in the
sending or receiving of messages. I am, therefore, to suggest that you
may kindly make it convenient to remain in touch with this Ministry. For
our part we will communicate with you as soon as any favorable development
occurs.
With kind regards,
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Sayed,
In continuation of my letter of even number dated 25th March 1972,
I enclose your Diplomatic Passport No. 0003778 and Passport No. AC 968437
of Mr. Amir Hyder Sayed. As I mentioned in my last letter we will get in
touch with you as soon as any favorable development takes place.
With kind regards,
Yours Sincerely,

My Dear Syed Sahib,
One of my very pleasant tasks immediately after taking over as Foreign
Secretary was to process the President’s instructions regarding your nomination
as his Special Envoy for the parleys with India. As you know we had started
preparing papers for you. A diplomatic passport was made out for you as
also a passport for your son who, I understand, was to accompany you.
Since then, unfortunately, our plans have been upset by some recent
developments. The Indians have insisted that the talks should be at the
level of officials, and they have nominated Mr. D.P. Dhar, Chairman of
the Policy Planning Committee of the Indian Foreign Office. So we have
also had to nominate an official to keep the talks at official level. The
President has been pleased to select Mr. Aziz Ahmad, secretary-general
in this Ministry for the purpose. I am now in a position to confirm reports
which have appeared in the press today that Mr. D.P. Dhar and his colleagues
are coming to Islamabad for the first round of talks which are not being
held in India as earlier speculation had suggested.
The President has directed me to inform you that he would wish to see
you very soon. When he visits Karachi he will be in touch with you. Alternatively,
when he is in Larkana, you could seek an appointment.
With Kind regards,
Yours Sincerely,
(Iftikhar Ali)

Dear Mr. Sayed,
The President has desired me to say that he is now formulating the
delegation for his forthcoming meeting with the Indian Prime Minister on
28th June 1972. He would be glad to include you in the delegation if you
are in a position to join. As the President desires an early answer, I
would be grateful to hear from you in reply as soon as possible.
Yours Sincerely,
(Iftikhar Ali)

Dear Mr. lftikhar Ali,
I am grateful to the President for his invitation to include me in
the delegation for his forthcoming meeting with the Prime Minister of India
on 28th June 1972. 1 am, however, prepared to assist the President in his
mission for solving the lndo-Pak problems. I have already explained to
the President personally in my last meeting with him at Karachi, that my
accompanying him along with sixty other persons will probably not serve
any useful purpose. I have already explained to him that if asked, I can
take an independent mission either before or after the summit meeting.
Assuring my good wishes and full support.
Yours Sincerely,
(G.M. Sayed)
