US pleased with India-Pak reconnect
Glossing over a very public reprimand delivered to Pakistan by the Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh in front of television cameras, the United States has welcomed renewed dialogue between New Delhi and Islamabad while maintaining that "the pace, scope, and the character of the dialogue" is something for the two sides to decide.
There is quiet satisfaction in Washington that New Delhi has finally relented and picked up the threads of the dialogue despite deep reservations
about Pakistan's bonafides in the capping and rolling back terrorist activities directed against India, specifically its inaction on the Mumbai terrorist attack by Pakistani jihadis.
"A resumption of such high-level engagement in the aftermath of the November Mumbai attacks is encouraging. We have aid before that India and Pakistan need to continue their dialogue to find joint solutions against terrorism and to promote regional stability," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said on Wednesday, hours after Prime Minister Singh upbraided Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari in their first meeting after the Mumbai attacks.
