Drawing Down
There's good news out of Pakistan.
Any move by India and/or Pakistan to ease tensions and make the two countries more dependent on each other is a good thing. The United States has disputes with any number of countries (China being the biggest example), but out economic and strategic connections with China help to maintain a level of stability and peace. That's exactly what Pakistan and India need more of.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz has said he will propose a series of confidence-boosting joint projects with India.
He plans to put them to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at a regional summit in Bangladesh next weekend.
Mr Aziz made his comments in an interview with the British newspaper, the Financial Times.
He said he hopes the projects will help ease tensions between the two countries over issues like Kashmir.
Mr Aziz said that a gas pipeline to connect India with Iran via Pakistan and a move to open banking links were among possible measures which could improve relations.
