Indian, Pakistani Leaders Have Telephone Talk

Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf spoke to each other on the phone on Monday night in the wake of the US military strikes on Afghanistan, the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported in an overnight story.

According to the report, it appeared that it was President Musharraf who made the phone call, which began at around 9 p.m. on Monday and lasted for 15 minutes.

The Pakistan president said that the two countries should not do anything to heighten tension in the region and should work together to reduce it, the PTI quoted Indian official sources as saying.

Vajpayee answered that India had never done anything to escalate tension in the region and has always been for peace, the sources added.

Musharraf said that Pakistan stood for dialogue with India and Vajpayee responded by saying while India has always been for talks, the exercise cannot be meaningful if Pakistan remains univocal on Kashmir.

India and Pakistan should develop their bilateral relations in totality taking into consideration its multifarious aspects, the Indian prime minister added.
