Pakistan will propose a series of confidence-boosting joint projects with India, which it hopes will pave the way to progress in ending difficulties such as the dispute over Kashmir, the Financial Times reported on Monday. A gas pipeline to connect India with Iran via Pakistan and a move to open banking links were among possible measures which "would improve the atmospherics", Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz told the FT in an interview. | "All we need is someone to talk sense to the Bugtis ..." |
The paper quoted Aziz as adding there were "many other possibilities which we want to explore". Aziz would make the proposals to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at a regional summit in Bangladesh next weekend. |
