Musharraf talks with Indian PM 'better than expected'

Pakistan’s president said today that talks with his Indian counterpart were more successful than he expected, but warned that settling the dispute over Kashmir would take a long time.

General Pervez Musharraf said there had been a change in attitude in Pakistan about the Himalayan region, which is split between the neighbours, but claimed in its entirety by both. The two nuclear-armed rivals have fought two wars over it.
