Pakistan and India will hold talks on Kashmir-related confidence-building measures (CBMs) in Islamabad on Friday.
The meeting of the Working Group on cross-Line of Control confidence-building measures, scheduled to be held on July 10, have been postponed on India request as Joint Secretary T. C. A. Raghavan, who was to lead the Indian side has gone to Afghanistan in the wake of the suicide attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul.
Pakistan's delegation will be led by Director General of South Asia in the foreign ministry.
The two countries are expected to discuss new Kashmir-related CBMs during the meeting of the Working Group, including modalities for intra-Kashmir trade and the launch of a truck service between Srinagar in the Indian-controlled Kashmir and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.
Lists of items to be traded through the truck service will also be discussed during the meeting. It will also review the existing bus services and measures to expand and facilitate travel between the two parts of Kashmir.
The first meeting of the Working Group was held in New Delhi in May 2006.
