Sharifs call to pull out troops from Kashmir
MALE (Maldives). May 13: Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said today he was confident India would agree to discuss the future of divided Kashmir in bilateral talks, and urged India to withdraw troops from the Himalayan region.
Sharif told Reuters television before leaving the SAARC summit that he was satisfied with face-to-face talks on Monday with his Indian counterpart, Inder Kumar Gujral.
"I think the situation has taken a good turn. We have held talks yesterday after a deadlock of four years. The talks were very constructive, very mean-ingful. and we've agreed to talk more." Sharif said before boarding a plane.
Shanf said the Pakistani and Indian foreign secretaries would meet in Islamabad next month and hoped they would form working groups to discuss outstanding issues dividing the neighbouring countries.
Asked if one of the working groups should be devoted to Kashmir, the Pakistani leader said "Certainly, because Kashmir is the core issue, and we have to address this issue very seriously . "
Sharif was asked what would happen if India refused to discuss Kashmir in a working group. "I think they will listen to us." he said.
Sharif left the summit this morning to attend a meeting of the Economic Cooperation Or-
ganisation grouping Pakistan. Iran and the newly independent Central Asian states being held in Turkmenistan.
The SAARC summit opened in the Maldivian capital on Monday with calls to address bilateral problems that have frustrated efforts to pull the region out of poverty.
Maldivian President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. SAARC’s new chairman, has said the bloc should start a separate but parallel political dialogue to overcome the mistrust in the region that has slowed progress towards economic integration.
"Such a process would also make more effective the role of SAARC as a confidence building mechanism." he said on Mon-
The association's charter prohibits the discussion at its official forums of contentious
bilateral issues that could hamper regional cooperation.
Gayoom's call for more political dialogue was echoed by Sri Lankan President Chandrika Kumaratunga, who suggested more frequent, informal and confidential talks among SAARC leaders.
