India may resume talks with Pakistan

Published September 9, 2006

NEW DELHI, Sept 8: India may resume a stalled dialogue with Pakistan after leaders of the two countries meet on the sidelines of an international summit in Cuba this month, India’s top diplomat said on Friday.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Pervez Musharraf are scheduled to meet in Havana during the Non-Aligned Movement summit, outgoing foreign secretary Shyam Saran told reporters.

He said the resumption of talks would depend on the outcome of the Havana meeting.

“Unless the issue of terrorism is addressed (by Pakistan) in a substantive way, it will be difficult to ensure the success of the dialogue process,” Saran said.
