Recent reports and briefings

The normalisation talks between India and Pakistan on Kashmir have helped reduce tensions and prevent a return to the climate of 2001-2002, when they were on the verge of all-out war. However, progress has been limited to peripheral issues. While both sides have reiterated commitments to sustain the dialogue, it is unrealistic to expect radical change in the near term. International, particularly U.S. support for the process will likely dissuade either side from pulling out but asymmetry of interests and goals militates against a major breakthrough. The need is to concentrate on maintaining a cold peace until a long process can produce an atmosphere in which the support of elected governments in both states might realistically bring a Kashmir solution.
