May 22, 2008

Nuclear rivals India and Pakistan signed a pact Wednesday to give consular access to each others'' prisoners but made no breakthrough in their dispute over the Himalayan region of Kashmir.

Foreign ministers from both sides wrapped up the latest round of the four-year-old negotiations between the feuding neighbours, which resumed this week after a hiatus of several months caused by political turmoil in Pakistan. The talks were the first since a new civilian government took power in Pakistan in March after defeating allies of President Pervez Musharraf in general elections. "We made a lot of progress in our interaction and we hope to maintain this in the next round of talks which is expected in mid-July," Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said at press conference. Qureshi said the consular agreement would facilitate the early release of prisoners held in each others'' jails after they had been identified. Hundreds of detainees remain in prisons on both sides of the border. The two sides also agreed to increase the frequency of buses running between the capitals of the Indian and Pakistani sectors of Kashmir, from every two weeks to weekly, a joint statement said.
