India, Pakistan Discuss Kashmir Border Firings -- AFP
NEW DELHI (AFP) — India's top security officials urged their Pakistani counterparts on Monday to put a stop to ceasefire violations along their shared border in the disputed Kashmir region.
The officials met in the Indian capital on security issues including the bombing of the Indian embassy in Kabul in July which killed 41 people.
New Delhi blames the bombing, whose victims included two Indian diplomats, on Pakistan's military intelligence agency.
"We will discuss all the issues that concern us," Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon said as Pakistan's National Security Advisor Mahmud Ali Durrani held talks with his Indian counterpart M.K. Narayanan.
"Let us see what we can take forward," Menon added.
India also claims Pakistan supports an Islamic insurgency in the Himalayan region of Kashmir, the trigger for two of the three wars between the nations since their independence from British rule in 1947.
