ISLAMABAD – While the highly anticipated meeting between President Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani never shook out, there was another, lower profile, but still significant meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart, Premier Nawaz Sharif, met for about an hour at New York’s Plaza Hotel on Sunday. Shaking hands for the cameras, the meeting signaled a new effort toward cooperation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
It's "ObamaLove"!!!!!!
India and Pakistan have fought three wars over the disputed region of Kashmir. Tensions are currently high after a series of fatal cross-border clashes along the de facto Himalayan border led to the death of at least eight soldiers on both sides - plunging diplomatic relations to their lowest point in years.
The stakes are high. Both countries have nuclear weapons and their large military formations train while keeping the other side in their gunsights.
Why is this significant?
There are serious gains to be made if India and Pakistan can move towards peace. Pakistan has the fastest growing nuclear arsenal in the world; India is sinking billions into modern conventional weapons platforms as one of the planets biggest arms importers. Peace dividends would reduce defense budgets and help almost over 500 million Indians and Pakistanis climb above the poverty and illiteracy lines.
Also, if there is peace between the two dominant powerhouses of the region, there will be increased chances of a lasting settlement in Afghanistan after 2014.
Conks coulda done something like this in the last 33 years, but it simply isn't in their DNA. It took a Democrat to work for peace in this shamefully violent (thx, U.S. Conks) world.
