India, Pakistan held secret talks on Kashmir in January: Reuters

Al Jazeera  

Top intelligence officers from the two nuclear-armed nations met in Dubai in bid to calm tension over the disputed Himalayan region, report says. Top intelligence officers from India and Pakistan held secret talks in Dubai in January in a new effort to calm military tension over the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, people with close knowledge of the matter have told the Reuters news agency in New Delhi. Officials from India’s Research and Analysis Wing, the external spy agency and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence travelled to Dubai for a meeting facilitated by the United Arab Emirates government, two people said. “It’s better for India and Pakistan to talk than not talk, and even better that it should be done quietly than in a glare of publicity,” said Myra MacDonald, a former Reuters journalist who has just published a book on India, Pakistan and war on the frontiers of Kashmir. “… But I don’t see it going very far beyond a basic management of tensions, possibly to tide both countries over a difficult period – Pakistan needs to address the fallout of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, while India has to confront a far more volatile situation on its disputed frontier with China.” Following the January meeting, India and Pakistan announced they would stop cross-border shooting along the Line of Control dividing Kashmir which has left dozens of civilians dead and many others maimed.
