Pakistani, Indian ministers to meet for talks

---

ISLAMABAD, (AP): The foreign ministers of Pakistan and India will meet in Islamabad for talks this summer, as the nuclear-armed rivals try to resume a formal peace dialogue derailed by the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi made the announcement Tuesday after a telephone call to his Indian counterpart. He said the discussions on July 15 would touch on the whole range of issues between the neighbors, which have fought three wars since independence from Britain, but warned against expecting "miracles overnight."
"There are no quick fixes, but sincerity is there," he said.
Last month, the Indian and Pakistani prime ministers met in Bhutan on the sidelines of a regional summit and agreed on the need to normalize relations, which have been dogged by more than six decades of hostility since both gained independence from Britain.
In New Delhi, Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said he was looking forward to the talks.
"Let us hope that these talks will be helpful in bringing our two countries closer together," he said.
A wide-ranging, but slow-moving formal dialogue began in 2004 but ended as a result of the Mumbai attacks, which killed 166 people.
