S Asian rivals end terror talks | |
(1 day later) | |
India and Pakistan have issued a joint statement after the first meeting of an anti-terrorism panel. | |
It says the sides agreed the guidelines of how the mechanism will work. | |
The tone of co-operation does not reflect earlier frustrations expressed by Pakistani officials disappointed at what they called a lack of progress. | |
This was the first time the regional rivals had held talks about fighting terrorism together, and that in itself was seen by many as a step forward. | |
Train attack | |
The brief statement says the two sides agreed to exchange specific information that could help ongoing investigations or prevent terrorist attacks. | |
It says the anti-terrorism panel will meet four times a year, but the two heads of the mechanism can directly discuss any urgent issues. | |
Pakistan had been hoping to hear more about India's investigation into the firebombing of a train last month which killed many Pakistani passengers. | |
Officials said the Indians only gave them the sketch of a suspect, said to be from Pakistan. | |
They said the Pakistani side handed over a dossier with specific evidence showing that Indian security agencies were involved in terrorist acts in the province of Balochistan. | |
