The Indian and Pakistani national security advisers met in Bangkok yesterday to discuss regional security and their Kashmir dispute, a joint statement said, as the two countries seek a thaw in frosty relations.
The meeting, which was originally set to be held in August but cancelled by New Delhi, came days after the prime ministers of both countries met on the sidelines of a conference in Paris, reports AFP from Islamabad.
"Pursuant to the meeting of the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan in Paris, the National Security Advisers, accompanied by the Foreign Secretaries (top diplomats), met in Bangkok today," the statement said.
"Discussions covered peace and security, terrorism, Jammu and Kashmir, and other issues, including tranquility along LoC," it added.
The Line of Control marks the de facto border in the disputed Kashmir region. Rela­tions between the two nuclear powers have worsened significantly since 2014, with shelling across their border in Kashmir claiming dozens of lives.
