    1 August 2011

    This paper discusses the recent meeting between Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna and the newly appointed Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar in New Delhi on 27 July 2011. Unlike the previous foreign ministers- meeting in Islamabad in 2010, the recent meeting between the two foreign ministers had a more positive feel to it. While no major breakthroughs were achieved, some confidence building measures were announced, paving the way for greater interaction between the two neighbours with a view to improve relations in the future.
