Shortly after his arrival Wednesday in Islamabad, Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna said he would press Pakistan on progress of the probe into the 2008 attacks on the Indian financial hub that killed 166 people. Krishna's statement followed comments by Indian Home Secretary G.K. Pillai published in the Indian Express newspaper accusing Pakistan's main spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence , of orchestrating the Mumbai assault. The remarks by Indian officials reflected continuing mistrust between the two nuclear-armed uneasy neighbours which have fought three wars since their independence from British rule in 1947. However, both sides have been under pressure from the United States to reduce tensions because their rivalry is often played out in Afghanistan and complicates efforts to bring peace there. The talks between Krishna and Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi could see them framing a new format to replace a broad 2004 peace process, known as the composite dialogue, which India suspended after the Mumbai attacks. That new format could free up the peace process from a political bind: India could not be seen as reviving the old peace process until Pakistan punished the planners of the Mumbai attack. "We hope that as a result of these talks our two countries agree on an engagement process that should move forward in a sustained manner and it should be uninterruptible," Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman Abdul Basit said before the start of the dialogue. "Unless we talk to each other and we discuss all issues which have been hindering normalisation of relations for decades ... we believe there cannot be a cooperative engagement. We are looking at these talks very positively." SECURITY VERSUS KASHMIR For India, security is the top issue and it wants Pakistan to show it is serious in reining in the militants behind the Mumbai attacks. India has accused Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group of being behind the Mumbai assault. Pakistan wants an early settlement of its dispute with India over the Himalayan region of Kashmir which lies at the heart of hostilities between the two nuclear-armed rivals and trigger of two of their three wars. The meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries is taking place when India has sent in the army to control weeks of violent anti-government protests in the part of Kashmir under its rule. An anti-India revolt broke out in Indian-ruled Kashmir in 1989, a conflict New Delhi says is fuelled by Pakistan. Islamabad denies the charge but says it extends moral, diplomatic and political support to what it calls an indigenous freedom movement. Pakistan and India both claim Kashmir. Analysts say both Pakistan and India would continue their dialogue despite their long-running misgivings. "We have not seen any statement from India that shows that they have changed their approach as far as investigations and action against the Mumbai attackers is concerned," political and security analyst Hasan Askari Rizvi said. "If this approach persists than you are not going to get much out of the dialogue. But this dialogue will not be shown as a failure as well. They will continue engagement."
