Cross-border terrorism the biggest sticking point in Indo-Pak ties, say Army officers
Both India and Pakistan made oblique moves today to take the bilateral talks issue forward and sound out the world community about elements of the agenda on which dialogues could be held.
Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf said in Islamabad India and Pakistan could consider a no-war pact.
And the Indian government announced Foreign Minister Yashwant Sinha was to go to Moscow later this week and would hold talks with US Secretary of State Colin Powell there.
The government spokesman said the visit had been scheduled earlier. He had no comment on Gen Musharraf's proposal.
Musharraf said Pakistan could work for a no-war pact with India followed by mutual reduction of troops and de-nuclearisation of South Asia if the Kashmir issue was resolved.
