well dear there are following mistakes in your precis, i don't have the original passage to evaluate whether you have precised it correctly or not.
1: Grammatical mistakes i-e "could not happened is wrong as could not is followed by first form of verb.
2: ambiguous and context less phrases.
3: lack of clarity.
you are recommended to go back to a good grammar to overcome these mistakes.

Dear Noor,

After having gone through your piece of composition, I, too suggest you to go through a good grammar book. Among other, the following grammatical errors are observed:

1. The writer further, said that in bygone days, many gatherings held between pakistan and india on several issues but was pointless. ( Subject verb agreement: mistake).

2. warm-welcomed pakistan’s president. ( Should have been warmly welcomed Pakistan because warm is not an adverb).

3. in writers view. ( Should have been: In writer's view; apostrophe was needed).
