Pakistan, India To Resume Strained Peace Talks

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari met with his Indian counterpart at U.N. side meeting

From Al Arabiya News Channel:

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh agreed on Wednesday to resume the strained peace process with new talks to be scheduled within three months.

The leaders of the nuclear-armed nations agreed that their foreign secretaries "will schedule meetings of the fifth round of the composite dialogue in the next three months," a joint statement said after the summit at the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting.

The talks were Zardari's first with Singh since the widower of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto won a presidential election this month to replace military leader Pervez Musharraf, who resigned under threat of impeachment.

The two leaders also called for an ongoing ceasefire to be "stabilized."

Nuclear-armed India and Pakistan have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir since their independence in 1947.
