Pakistan-India talks on Siachen start today
ISLAMABAD: Defence Secretaries of India and Pakistan will begin two-day
talks on the Siachen issue in Islamabad today.
The talks come at the backdrop of
demands in Pakistan that the world's highest battlefield be demilitarised as
soon as possible.
Indian Defence Secretary Shashikant
Sharma arrived in Pakistan for crucial talks on the military standoff on the
Siachen glacier.
Defence Secretary Nargis Sethi, will
lead the Pakistani side in the talks.
Chief of the Army Staff General
Ashfaq Kayani and President Asif Ali Zaradari have spoken about the need to
resolve the issue.
India has, however, stuck to its
known position that no troop withdrawal is possible without Pakistan
authenticating current troop positions, delineating the boundary on the map and
demarcating it on ground.
Ahead of the talks, Defence Minister
AK Antony cautioned against expecting any breakthrough at the meeting saying,
"Do not expect any dramatic announcement or decision on an issue which is
very important for us, especially in the context of national security. You
cannot expect a dramatic announcement from one discussion."
