Pakistan, India envoys returning today amid easing tension

ISLAMABAD: Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria will return to Islamabad today while his Pakistani counterpart will also depart to New Delhi today.

The return of top diplomats to their respective assignment indicate easing of tension between the two countries.
