India, Pakistan Hold Peace Talks

HeadlineFeb 25, 2010

India and Pakistan are holding peace talks today for the first time since the Mumbai attacks of 2008. The Indian and Pakistani foreign ministers are meeting in the Indian capital of New Delhi. India has accused Pakistan of failing to confront militants responsible for attacks inside India territory, while both sides remain divided over competing claims to Kashmir. The talks come as the Obama administration continues to increase weapons sales to both countries. An executive with the consulting firm Deloitte LLP told the Wall Street Journal that India could be “the most important market in the world for defense contractors looking to make foreign military sales.”
