For the first time since the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks India and Pakistan held official diplomatic talks on 25 February. Although there were only limited results of the meeting, it was an important step towards full resumption of the Indian-Pakistani peace dialogue. The future of this process still depends mainly on Pakistan’s policy towards terrorist organizations operating in the country and attacking targets in India. Any potential improvement in India-Pakistan relations could have a major impact on security in Southern Asia and help the task of stabilization of Afghanistan.
