Indian Foreign Minister Nirupama Rao says the meeting with her Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir is another sincere attempt by India to initiate dialogue with Pakistan. The talks on Thursday mark the end of a diplomatic freeze which followed the terror attacks in Mumbai in November 2008. After blaming the assault on Pakistan-based militants, India suspended a four-year peace process and demanded that Islamabad bring the perpetrators of the attack to justice. Indian officials say the future of the dialogue will depend not on what New Delhi says but what it hears from Islamabad on its concerns. Islamabad wants to raise all bilateral issues which trouble their relationship and says a narrow agenda will not allow much progress.
