New York, Sep 22 - The resumption of the subcontinental composite dialogue is in the best interests of the region, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has said.

At a meeting with former US president Bill Clinton here Monday, Zardari also reiterated that Pakistan was determined to prevent its territory from being used against any other country, APP reported.

India had suspended the composite dialogue process in the wake of the audacious 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks that New Delhi has blamed on elements operating from Pakistan.

India has also demanded action against terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed that New Delhi has named as the mastermind of the Nov 26-29, 2008 Mumbai carnage that claimed the lives of over 170 people, including 26 foreigners.

With Islamabad finally arresting Saeed, it was announced Monday that Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna will hold talks with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi in New York Sep 27 to review Pakistan's action against the 26/11 terrorists.
