Pakistan, India begin talks on demarcation of Sir Creek border
Pakistani and Indian defence officials started a two-day meeting yesterday in a bid to settle a row over maritime boundaries in the Sir Creek marshlands that lie between the countries, officials said.
The talks focussed on a survey of the area, which falls between Pakistan's southern Sindh province and the Indian state of Gujrat, conducted by Pakistani and Indian teams early this year, a defence ministry official said.
The delegations would discuss proposals from both sides on the boundary, which is undetermined and has been a source of border tension.
