Former Pakistan prime minister has expressed the hope that democracy will be soon restored in her country.
She told media persons on her arrival in Jaipur on Friday that she had had a "fruitful" meeting with President Pervez Musharraf [Images] recently.
The India-Pakistan dialogue would be more meaningful if Islamabad was represented by elected leaders, she opined.
"I had a fruitful meeting with President Pervez Musharraf in Jeddah recently over the issue of restoration of democracy in Pakistan and we hope that the process will be speeded up," Benazir said.
Benazir, who was on her way to Ajmer to offer prayers at the Dargah of Sufi Saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, said her
husband Asif Ali Zardari would be having another round of talks with Musharraf in Islamabad on April 16 for restoration of democracy.
"I hope that I shall be able to return to my country after return of democracy," said the Pakistan Peoples' Party leader, who is now in self-imposed exile.
"On our part we are trying our best to find ways to speed up the democratic process in Pakistan," she said.
