International terrorism and organised crime including drug trafficking would feature among the five agreements India would sign with Bangladesh during the ongoing visit by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, according to Times of India. India’s Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said on January 10 that Hasina’s visit promised to be a path-breaking one. “The visit of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh promises to be a path-breaking one and gives both countries a historic opportunity to build a new and forward looking relationship. India is committed to working with the government of Bangladesh to build on our historical and traditionally close links and open new vistas in our bilateral relations,” said Rao. Five agreements would be signed during the visit including on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, transfer of sentenced persons, combating international terrorism, organised crime and illegal drug trafficking, power cooperation and a cultural exchange programme. Hasina would meet her counterpart Manmohan Singh on January 11 (today). She would be conferred the Indira Gandhi prize for peace, disarmament and development for 2009 on January 12 (tomorrow) at President’s House.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on January 11 assured New Delhi that Dhaka would not allow its soil to be used as a base for operations by groups inimical to India, her Advisor Abul Kalam Azad said, reports The Hindu. However, India and Bangladesh signed five pacts in the presence of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his counterpart Sheikh Hasina to add impetus to the bilateral ties that had been on the upswing since the last one year. The five agreements relate to mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, transfer of sentenced persons, fight against terrorism, organised crime and illegal drug trafficking, power cooperation and cultural exchange programmes. “We are confident that this visit would serve to underline that strong India-Bangladesh relations are vital; not just for both our countries, but for the entire region and the international community,” said India’s Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao.

The Hindu reports that first wide-ranging dialogue between India and Pakistan after 26/11 Mumbai attacks would take place in New Delhi on February 25. Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao received a phone call from her Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir on February 12 stating that February 25, one of the two dates suggested by India, was acceptable to Pakistan. While New Delhi is open to discussing all subjects, including Kashmir and water, its focus would be on terror and the steps being taken by Pakistan to ensure that its territory is not used for attacks against India.

India submitted three dossiers during foreign secretary level talk with Pakistan in New Delhi on February 25, which Pakistan assured it would seriously examine, reports The Hindu. One dossier provides information on some individuals associated with the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai attacks, the second was a list of Indian fugitives sheltered in Pakistan and the third on the Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD), chief Hafiz Saeed’s anti-India statements. Times of India adds that India asked for 33 terrorists -- Pakistani nationals as well as Indian fugitives, including two serving Pakistan army officers, Major Iqbal and Major Samir Ali -- to be handed over, giving three dossiers. In the meantime, Pakistan discussed India’s involvement in supplying weapons and money to insurgents in Balochistan which India said was a “baseless allegation.”

Times of India reports that the border guarding agencies of India and Bangladesh - Border Security Force (BSF) and Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) - on March 11 agreed to increase mutual cooperation in restricting cross-border movement of criminals/insurgents and help in identifying `suitable patches' even within 150 yards of the border for erecting fences. The contentious issue of border fencing was discussed during the BSF-BDR parleys in New Delhi within the framework of the in-principle decisions taken in this regard during the home secretary-level talks in November 2008. Bangladesh also promised action against Indian insurgents who may be operating from its soil -- a list of whom was handed over to it by BSF Director-General Raman Srivastava. "BDR is trying to ascertain the presence of these insurgents on their side of the border," Srivastava said after signing a joint record of discussions with BDR Director-General Major General Mainul Islam, who is on a four-day visit in New Delhi.

External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna would visit Islamabad on July 15 to hold talks with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi, reports The Hindu. This was agreed upon during a phone call by the latter to the former on May 11. Their talks will be preceded by a Foreign Secretary-level interaction on June 26 on the sidelines of a conference of Home Ministers of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) in Islamabad. The two Foreign Secretaries will finalise the agenda for the Krishna-Qureshi meeting. The proposal for the dates was made by India and accepted by Pakistan during a much-awaited 25-minute telephonic conversation, said sources in the Government. The talks were mandated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani during their interaction at the SAARC summit at Thimphu in Bhutan in April 27.

The Foreign Secretaries of India and Pakistan held talks in Islamabad on June 24, reports Times of India. India's Foreign Secretary, Nirupama Rao, and her Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir held a joint press conference after concluding one-on-one talks and a meeting along with their teams to craft the agenda for a meeting of their foreign ministers on July 15, 2010. “We have sorted out to understand each other’s position. We had a comprehensive, sustained and meaningful dialogue which will go a long way to bridge the trust deficit between the two countries,” Nirupama Rao said. We discussed all issues, obviously our core concerns on terrorism were also articulated, she added. “The issue relating terrorism was of course one of the principal topic during the talks. And both the countries will have to work in sync to eliminate the menace,” she stressed. She said that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had assured his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh in Thimphu in April 2010 that Pakistan will not allow its soil to be used for terrorist activities against India. Rao said that both countries had to work together to deny militants the opportunity to sabotage their dialogue. “We should jointly work together towards our goal of resolution of outstanding issues and also to dealing with the dangers, with the threat, with the evils of terrorism,” she said. “We must deny terrorist elements any opportunity to derail the process of improvement of relations between our two countries,” she said. However, Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir told the press conference that Pakistan and India should work towards restoring confidence and building trust with a view to making it possible to have a comprehensive, sustained and meaningful dialogue. “After this engagement, I feel much more optimistic about a good outcome at the ministerial level and good prospects for the two countries in terms of our relationship.” Indian and Pakistani Foreign Ministers S.M. Krishna and Shah Mehmood Qureshi are scheduled to meet in Islamabad on July 15, 2010 which will be the third major contact between officials of India and Pakistan within four weeks. Further, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi described the Pakistan-India foreign secretary-level talks as a step forward in resuming the stalled peace process. “I think dialogue is a step forward. It’s an important development. We should build on this development,” Qureshi said after Pakistani Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir and his Indian counterpart Nirupama Rao concluded their talks.

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram met his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik and is understood to have pressed for urgent action against Hafiz Saeed, chief of the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) over ground organisation Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) and 26/11 handlers, including those who are believed to be in the Pakistani Army, reports The Hindu. Chidambaram sought voice samples of the Pakistani handlers and raised issues like infiltration on the border of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistanis who have infiltrated and are indulging in militant activities. Speaking to reporters accompanying him in the special aircraft, Chidambaram said he will not say anything that will cast a shadow on the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Home Ministers’ Meeting, which is primary engagement in Islamabad. He said he will tell Pakistan “politely, but firmly” that the time has come to address issues concerning the Mumbai attacks. “I will use the opportunity to bring home to Pakistan gravity of issues and the need for response that is appropriate to the gravity of the situation,” he said. “It has been 18 months since I took over. The time has come to address these issues (regarding Mumbai attacks) with seriousness that they warrant. That is what I am going to tell them politely, but firmly,” Chidambaram said. Meanwhile, Times of India adds that Chidambaram met Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Islamabad. The Union Home Minister in an exclusive interview to Times Now just before his departure for Pakistan said India was unlikely to share leads with Pakistan about terror plots emanating from the neighbouring country. "If we tell them (Pakistan) what we have gathered about what some people are doing in that country, that would completely compromise our intelligence gathering, isn't it?" said Chidambaram.

After three rounds of discussions through the day between the Foreign Ministers on July 15, India and Pakistan were unable to find a meeting ground on most of the irritants in bilateral relations but decided to remain engaged nonetheless, reports The Hindu. Though Pakistan Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi described the prolonged engagement as "useful'' and his Indian counterpart S. M. Krishna saw it as "constructive,'' the inability to break new ground was evident at the joint press conference they addressed late in the evening.

Describing his talks with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi as "good and constructive," External Affairs Minister S.M Krishna said at a joint press conference that Pakistan has promised speedy trial of the 26/11 Mumbai attack accused and had given a fresh assurance not to allow this country's territory to be used for terror against India, reports Times of India. "The bottom-line is that the discussions were good and constructive," Krishna said after his wide-ranging talks with Qureshi that covered a wide array of issues of mutual concern, including terrorism, Jammu and Kashmir and humanitarian biggest Confidence-Building Measures (CBM) to ease trust deficit between the two countries. The two sides decided to continue engagement, with Krishna inviting Qureshi to visit India, saying he looked forward to welcoming him. Krishna said that during the talks, he reminded his Pakistani interlocutors to fulfil the pledge that Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had given to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Bhutan over two months ago not to allow Pakistani territory to be used for terror activities directed against India. "It would go a long way in building trust," Krishna said.

India and the US on July 23 signed a Counter Terrorism Cooperation Initiative (CCI) that includes steps to check financing of terror activities, joint probe in cases of bomb blasts besides cooperation in mega-city policing, transportation including rail security, development of investigative skills, cyber and border security, reports Times of India. "Today, with the formal signing of the initiative, we take several significant steps forward against terrorism," said the US ambassador to India, Timothy. J. Roemer, who signed the agreement along with Union Home Secretary G.K. Pillai in the presence of Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao in New Delhi. Terming the pact as symbolic of the "indispensable partnership" against terrorism, Roemer said both the countries will work closely in matters like intelligence sharing and probe into bomb blasts. "In the coming days and months, there will be even closer information sharing and collaborative efforts on issues ranging from bomb blast probe and major event security to mega-city policing, cyber and border security," he said.

I sincerely hope the world community would use its good offices to promote this," Singh said at a joint press conference with Cameron here. "It is not acceptable, as I have said, for there to be within Pakistan existence of terror groups that cause terrorism within Pakistan, outside Pakistan, in Afghanistan, India and elsewhere in the world," added Cameron. At the same time, Pakistan should be encouraged to take steps to see that terror was reduced. "We want to work with Pakistan to make it fight the LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] and Afghan or Pakistan Taliban. The Pakistan Government has taken steps and it needs to take further steps to reduce terrorism in Afghanistan, India and the streets of London. I think the right thing is to have discussion with Pakistan frankly, clearly and openly. Next week, I will have discussions with the President of Pakistan,'' he said. Making the same point, Manmohan Singh hoped that Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi would accept the invitation to visit India later this year so that "sooner or later" the dialogue was restored to the "proper sense of purpose."
