In an interview with BBC Urdu, the minister said Pakistan, although willing to hold talks, received no positive indications from India.
"(Prime Minister) Imran Khan has given many indications to New Delhi in this regard," Chaudhry told the publication.
"Upon his election as prime minister, Imran (Khan) invited Indian cricketers … In his first speech, he declared that we would take two steps forward in New Delhi," said Chaudhry.
He added that Khan also spoke to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, according to the report.
Chaudhry added that the military was in agreement with the government's decision to contact India to improve its relations and hold talks. "Khan and General Qamar Javed Bajwa both understand that a country can not progress in isolation," he said.
"The two leaders understand that we will be left behind in the race for development if regional peace is not assured".
Chaudhry also said that Pakistan will soon open the Kartar Singh border for Sikh pilgrims and allow them to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur without having to obtain a visa. "A system has been put in place for pilgrims entering Pakistan," he said.
