Thimphu, Bhutan, April 28, 2010, SPA -- The prime ministers of India and Pakistan will hold talks on Thursday, their first meeting in nine months that is seen as another attempt to improve frayed ties, Reuters reported. India halted peace talks with Pakistan after the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, saying the process could be revived only if Islamabad acted against Pakistan-based militants it blamed for the killings. No breakthrough is expected in the meeting between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yusuf Raza Gilani, which analysts say may have a limited aim of keeping alive the idea of engagement. Their tension spills over into Afghanistan, where both seek influence, complicating U.S. efforts to find a solution to the nine-year-old war there. Washington sees Pakistan as key to any negotiated settlement because of its old links with the Taliban. -- SPA 19:06 LOCAL TIME 16:06 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/774747
