India-Pakistan Nuclear Talks Set for Friday

Senior Indian and Pakistani officials are scheduled to discuss nuclear issues and missile test protocols in New Delhi beginning Friday, the Associated Press reported yesterday (see GSN, July 25).

Officials are expected to talk about increasing the amount of information shared prior to missile tests, possibly to include the missile’s range and the test site. Also on the agenda is the possible creation of a hot line between both countries’ foreign ministries to ensure misunderstandings do not lead to a nuclear exchange, said Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammed Naeem Khan (Associated Press, Aug. 1).
