NEW DEHLI: Pakistan and India failed to reach an agreement on the demilitarisation of Siachen after talks ended in New Delhi on Tuesday.
Both sides have reportedly maintained their earlier adopted stances.
India wants Pakistan to authenticate the AGPL, both on the maps and the ground, as it occupies most of the dominating posts on the Saltoro Ridge, they said. Pakistan, in turn, has been insisting on maintaining the pre-1972 troop positions as agreed in the Simla Agreement.
It was the 12th round of inconclusive talks on Siachen, considered one of the less difficult disputes to resolve between India and Pakistan.
“Both sides agreed to continue the discussions in a meaningful and result-oriented manner. They agreed to meet again on a mutually-convenient date in Islamabad,” a joint statement by India and Pakistan said.
