India and Pakistan resume peace talks

2006 — India and Pakistan will resume formal peace negotiations frozen after the train bombings in Mumbai and set up a joint agency to tackle terrorism, their leaders said. “It was agreed that the peace process must be maintained. We instructed our foreign secretaries to resume the comprehensive dialogue as early as possible,” Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, reading out a joint statement after talks with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. The leaders met on the fringes of a summit of Non-Aligned Movement nations in Havana.
