KASHMIR IN FOCUS - 2003-05-09

Asia Times - Recently, Prince Karim visited both India and Pakistan, where he met with Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and President General Pervez Musharraf. During both meetings he stressed the need for a practical solution on Kashmir, as well as confidence-building measures between the two countries. It is perhaps no coincidence, then, that soon after the prince's visits, the flurry of exchanges between Delhi and Islamabad has resulted in the countries expressing the desire to resume road, rail and air links, as well as top-level diplomatic ties and softer visa regulations to make it easier for divided families to reunite.

He said Pakistan would never sideline the Kashmir issue.

KASHMIR IN FOCUS
New start, new ideas and new faces

KARACHI - With both India and Pakistan appearing ready to make a paradigm shift in their policies on Kashmir, proposed talks on the disputed territory can be expected to be more precise and practical than the last abortive round in Agra in India in July 2001, and could result in a change in the region's political map.
