Top diplomats resume dialogue

India's top diplomat was in Pakistan on Tuesday for the first meeting with his counterpart since New Delhi called off talks seven months ago.

Tensions between the neighbors have resulted in both armies firing across their disputed border in the region of Kashmir several times in the past year. At least a dozen people were killed and thousands were forced to flee their homes in the latest fighting in January.

"We engaged on each other's concerns and interests in an open manner. We agreed to work together to find common ground and narrow differences," said Indian Foreign Secretary Subrahmanyan Jaishankar on his meeting with his Pakistani counterpart, Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry.
