The meeting was not a formal summit meeting, and diplomats tried to tamp down expectations. Mr. Zardari had originally asked to make a private visit to an important Muslim religious site, the Ajmer Sharif shrine, in Rajasthan State. Mr. Singh then invited him to make a detour to New Delhi for lunch. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A senior Indian government official accused Pakistan on Friday of backtracking since announcing Wednesday it had granted India most-favored nation trading status, exposing potential hurdles in efforts to improve relations between the two hostile neighbors. The official, speaking anonymously, said business and political lobbies in Pakistan seemed to have forced the trade move to be put on hold, leaving India to ''wait and watch'' to see if the process would resume. A spokeswoman for Pakistan's Foreign Office dismissed the accusation, saying, ''Pakistan's cabinet gave approval to move forward on M.F.N. status in principle.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Pakistan's cabinet agreed Wednesday to normalize trade relations with India in a move that could improve political relations between the countries and bolster Pakistan's struggling economy. Pakistan's information minister said that Indian exports would be treated as favorably as those from Pakistan's other trading partners. Currently, Pakistan admits fewer than 2,000 types of Indian products. Both countries have said they want to more than double trade between them, to $6 billion a year. Consumers in Pakistan are likely to benefit more from the change, gaining access to more and cheaper Indian goods. Pakistani businesses will likely face stiffer competition, especially in auto parts, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods. Policy makers also hope the move encourages progress on other trade issues, like India's product-quality standards, which Pakistan says inhibit its exports. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

With a relationship as combustible as that between India and Pakistan, it's progress just to get the two sides in a room. Last week's meeting was better. Their foreign ministers announced modest, but very welcome, agreements concerning the bitterly disputed region of Kashmir. They promised to double the number of days when cross-border trade between the two parts of Kashmir -- one controlled by India, the other by Pakistan -- is allowed and to expand and expedite travel permits for Kashmiris who want to cross the border for family visits, tourism and religious purposes. India and Pakistan have fought three wars since 1947, two over Kashmir. Even these small steps could help chip away at their visceral mistrust. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

NEW DELHI -- The resumption of diplomatic talks between India and Pakistan set for Thursday comes at a critical moment, with the United States hoping that even a modest improvement in relations between the nuclear-armed neighbors could help the broader American military effort in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
