India, Pakistan to meet for trust-building talks

The Pakistan and India foreign ministers will Thursday hold wide-ranging talks aimed at building trust and resuming peace talks.

Indian Foreign Minister S.M.Krishna will meet his counterpart in Islamabad in the latest high-level contact since New Delhi froze a four-year peace process after blaming the 2008 Mumbai attacks on Pakistani-based militants.

Tentative moves to restore fragile relations began in April when the Indian and Pakistani Prime Ministers met on the sidelines of a regional conference in Bhutan. Both sides said Krishna and Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi are expected to discuss "all issues" concerning their countries' relations.
