Brief
Moving along: Aman ki Asha Strategic Seminar
There have been some positive developments in relations between India and Pakistan, towards which the Aman ki Asha campaign, launched on January 1, 2010, has played a significant role. These positive developments include Pakistan agreeing to grant Most Favoured Nation status to India, agreement to ease the difficult and complicated visa regime and a sea change in perceptions in both countries. The campaign has received widespread appreciations and is the recipient of several national and international awards.
Through its closed door AKA Strategic Seminar series followed by public interactions Aman ki Asha has also been taking up contentious issues that have been the cause of much of the hostility between these two countries. The third in this series is the forthcoming two-day seminar, to take place on December 2-3, 2012 in New Delhi.
Agenda items include “Finding Solutions to the contentious issues. Focussed discussion on the relatively low hanging fruits of Sir Creek, Siachen and related issue”, “Kashmir, Terrorism and related issues. The right time to start a dialogue and develop a road map”, and “Indo Pak relations, Summary, way forward”.
Delegates from both countries discussing these disputes and proposing solution include diplomats, senior journalists and civil society leaders and people with military backgrounds.
From Pakistan, the expected delegates include Gen Mahmud Durrani, Admiral Hassan Ansari, Ali Habib, Khaqan Abbasi, Kamran Khan, Najam Sethi, Ejaz Haider, Amb Aziz A. Khan, and Amb. Shahid Malik. Indian delegates are expected to include Vice Admiral Rao, Radha Kumar, Vikas Singh, Lt Gen Pawar, Srinath Raghavan, Shyam Saran, Naresh Chandra, and Raja Mohan.
