Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Friday said he was willing to provide third consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav. The statement comes a day after India said the second consular access to Jadhav was "neither meaningful nor credible".

Kulbhushan Jadhav, the former Indian Navy officer in Pakistani custody was granted his second consular access on Thursday. Kulbhushan Jadhav is currently on a death-row in Pakistan after it accused him of spying for India. He was handed the sentence after a farcical trial in Pakistan.
