Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Aug. 22 that Pakistan will not attend the planned national security advisor talks citing "preconditions" set by India earlier in the day, the Express Tribune reported. The Pakistani government specifically mentioned that it could not accept India's conditions to limit the talks to ways of ending terrorism and maintaining tranquility on the Line of Control. Representatives of the Indian government denied that they had set preconditions. Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said earlier that talks could be delayed if Pakistani National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz insisted on meeting with Kashmiri separatist leaders.

Let’s pray for the soon rescheduling of these security talks. The border between India and Pakistan is probably the most dangerous one on earth since both nations have nuclear weapons. May their be a thaw in the relationship of these South Asian enemies!
