New Delhi, August 2 (ANI): Prime Minister Manmohan Singh deserves all the credit for keeping the dialogue process moving, despite Pakistan's failure to prosecute 26/11 perpetrators.
Last weeks meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries was a sign of improving ties. The foreign ministers announced modest, but very welcome, agreements concerning the disputed region of Kashmir, The New York Times reports.
They promised some confidence building measures and also said the dialogue would continue.
Three weeks ago, some doubted the meeting would even happen after three explosions ripped through Mumbai, killing 24 people. The Mumbai attacks in 2008 that killed 160 people were blamed on Pakistani terrorists and sent relations with India into the deep freeze, the report said.
India and Pakistan have more to talk about, including cooperation on water, expanded trade and their joint stake in a stable Afghanistan.
The United States and its allies are planning a conference in Bonn in December and hope to rally international support for a broad regional strategy that includes a peace deal for Afghanistan, trade agreements and ambitious energy projects. India and Pakistan need to be full participants. The payoff could be huge if their leaders muster the courage to resolve their differences. (ANI)
