Pakistan Lukewarm About India's Confidence-Building Measures

India has announced a series of confidence-building measures ahead of a summit meeting between Indian and Pakistani leaders on Sunday. But Pakistan has shown little excitement over the moves, saying it is determined 1 to keep the focus of the summit on the 1)dispute over Kashmir.
A move to establish special border 2)checkpoints, including one along the cease-fire line in the disputed Kashmir region, is one of the confidence-building measures announced by India this week. The checkpoints are aimed at 3)facilitating visits to India by Pakistanis. The moves by New Delhi come ahead of the summit meeting between President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee.
But officials in Pakistan say the 4)gestures are aimed at 5)shifting the summit's focus away from what they call "the core issue of Kashmir." A spokesman for President Musharraf, Rashid Quereshi, says the other issues should be raised later - and flow out of the Agra summit. "For 50 years the question of Kashmir has 6)bedeviled the relations between the two countries," he said. "If that is the area that has 7)spoiled relations between the two countries, if that is the problem, it needs to be resolved. What better confidence building measures than to remove the main 8)irritant."
President Musharraf's talks with Prime Minister Vajpayee will be the first such contact between the two 9)rival nations since they were pushed to the 10)brink of their third war over Kashmir two years ago. President Musharraf's spokesman hopes the upcoming summit meeting will help settle the conflict. "There should not be an over assessment 2 or much of 11)hype or expectations," he said. "However, the very fact that talks are starting, in my opinion, is something that had not happened for the last two years. It is a very good development and we hope it will lead to the 12)resolution of the Kashmir issue."
India controls two-thirds of Kashmir and says the region is an 13)integral part of the country. Pakistan, which controls the other third of the territory, insists that the people there be given the right to vote on its status. All previous attempts by India and Pakistan to settle the conflict have failed and most analysts 3 say there is little chance of a 14)breakthrough at this week's summit.
