NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister S M Krishna Wednesday said the trust deficit with its neighbor Pakistan was ‘shrinking’ and there was a very positive atmosphere.

Talking to reporters here on his way to Maldives to attend the SAARC summit, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna urged on a joint strategy in connection with anti-terror efforts.
