April 11, 2007 Siachen Parleys Complicated: PM New Delhi Admitting that negotiations to resolve the impasse over the Siachen glacier in Jammu and Kashmir were "complicated", Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Wednesday that both New Delhi and Islamabad had agreed to continue their talks on the issue. "These are complicated negotiations. Both sides have agreed to continue to discuss the issue," the prime minister said. He was speaking to reporters here on the sidelines of a defence investiture ceremony. India and Pakistan held secretary-level talks in Rawalpindi last week on the demilitarization of the Siachen glacier, considered the world's coldest and highest battlefield at over 20,000 feet where temperature plunges to minus 50 degrees Celsius in winter. The talks that also covered the demarcation of the Sir Creek marshland in Gujarat were, however, inconclusive. India controls the heights on Siachen at an estimated cost of up to $1 million a day and is reluctant to pull back its troops unless Pakistan shows willingness to concede to its demand for authentication of the existing ground position of troops on the glacier. Pakistan says it is only willing to accept the troop positions that existed in 1984. The guns had been booming on Siachen since 1984 when Indian troops went in to forestall Pakistani attempts to occupy the heights. A ceasefire has been in place since 2003. IANS | April 11, 2007 |
