India, Pak to discuss Siachen on Friday



NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri have decided to hold Defence Secretary-level talks on Siachen in Islamabad on Friday in an effort to resolve the vexed issue.

The two foreign ministers reviewed progress on Siachen and various other bilateral issues including Jammu and Kashmir and Sir Creek when they met on the sidelines of the SAARC Summit in the Capital on Monday.

Kasuri has been insisting that the two countries were close to settling the issue and given the political will, an agreement could be clinched anytime.

The two sides had agreed to demilitarise the icy heights but have failed to reach an understanding on how to do it.

India has maintained that there can be no demilitarisation till Pakistan agrees to 'iron clad' authentication of present troop positions of the respective countries.

On his meeting with Mukherjee, Kasuri said both sides agreed that bilateral relations were in a "healthy" state.

"We discussed various issues between the two countries and modalities regarding what is to be done next," he said.

"There was an agreement on what is to be done next and how to take these issues forward," he said.

On the first meeting of joint anti-terrorism mechanism recently in Islamabad, the Pakistan Foreign Minister said some viewed it with optimism while some did not.

Insisting that the meeting of the mechanism was a positive development, he said the two sides had agreed to meet again and chalked out a framework for working together to fight terrorism.

"Let us give them time," Kasuri said, cautioning against any attempt to indulge in "point scoring" on issues like whether evidence was shared or not.

"India and Pakistan have a history. There are issues on which we had differences. So it is better to resolve the issues between them bilaterally first," he said.
