As a follow-up to a decision taken by Pakistani and Indian
leaders in Havana last month, the peace talks between the two
countries will resume in mid-November, Tuesday's DAWN
newspaper reported.
Pakistani and Indian foreign secretaries will meet in
mid-November in New Delhi to resume peace dialogues that were
stalled after July's Mumbai train blasts, Pakistani Foreign
Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri said on Monday, according to
DAWN.
Kasuri didn't give specific dates for the resumption of the
talks while talking to reporters Monday at the Foreign
Ministry.
In a joint statement after their Havana meeting on Sept. 16,
Pakistani President Musharraf and Indian Prime Minister Singh had
directed their foreign secretaries to resume the dialogue, which
was earlier called off by India after the Mumbai train bombings
that killed at least 180 people and New Delhi blamed on "Pakistani
hands."
