Jammu | July 18
India and Pakistan have launched a fresh round of negotiations aimed at boosting their trade and transport.
The talks are the first since India blamed Pakistan's ISI intelligence service for the recent bomb attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul.
Analysts say trade between the two countries could reach $6bn a year if both sides ease restrictions.
They say this may improve political relations between the two countries, which have gone to war three times.
The talks in Islamabad are part of a peace process begun in 2004.
They will focus on trade and transport links between the Indian-controlled and Pakistani-controlled parts of the disputed region of Kashmir, according to Pakistan's foreign ministry.
Last year, the two neighbours boosted trade ties with a truck carrying goods across the border for the first time since partition 60 years ago. |
