India and Pakistan reached a final step to sign a new visa agreement which will make it easier for certified businessmen from both sides to get one-year multiple-entry non-reporting visas, sources said.

According to the Pakistani High Commissioner, this decision was taken at the meeting between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari.

The commissioner said, the dates for the meeting had not been decided yet while hoping that the agreement will be finalised in future meeting of Home Secretaries of the two countries.
