South Asia: India Readies “Road Map” for Bilateral Talks India has prepared a “road map” for possible talks with Pakistan to reduce tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals, Indian External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha said yesterday (see GSN, May 12). “Every step is clear in our mind,” Sinha said. “There is no confusion and we will proceed according to the plan,” he said. India and Pakistan will use the planned talks to build a framework for a possible future summit, Sinha said. “The thawing has already begun but there will be no dramatic gestures,” Sinha said. “The general approach is to begin with official-level talks leading up to a political summit,” he said. Pakistani Information Minister Rashid Ahmed said talks could begin as early as June. “I am not giving any date or confirmation,” he added (United Press International, May 12).
