Islamabad - India and Pakistan resumed stalled peace talks yesterday when their leading foreign ministry officials held "frank, warm and cordial" discussions on how to create peace and security.

Today's second session of the three-day talks is to be devoted to the two countries' longstanding dispute over the Himalayan region of Jammu and Kashmir. Tensions between the two neighbours, who have fought three wars since their independence from Britain in 1947, have risen since they conducted tit-for-tat nuclear tests last May.
