India and Pakistan begin Kashmir talks
India and Pakistan today held their first substantive talks in six years on the disputed Kashmir region – one of the world’s most dangerous flashpoints and a key hurdle in their revived peace process.
India’s Foreign Secretary Shashank, who uses one name, and Pakistani Foreign Secretary Riaz Khokhar shook hands, smiled and waved to reporters before leading their separate delegations into the closed, four-hour talks in New Delhi.
