India and Pakistan will discuss the Siachen issue on June 11-12
in Islamabad with an aim
of de-militarising the
world’s highest battle-filed,
according to Daily
Excelsior. Defence
Secretaries of the two
sides will hold talks
for two days there in
an attempt to find a solution
to the vexed problem,
which is costing immensely
to both countries in terms
of monetary and human
resources, officials said
on June 3. The talks will
be followed by a discussion
on the Sir Creek issue
on June 28. These talks
were earlier supposed
to precede the Siachen
issue but the schedule
was reversed reportedly
at the behest of Pakistan.
India and Pakistan have
held several rounds of
talks to resolve the Siachen
issue. |
