US embassy cable - 05NEWDELHI680

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.  (C) On the margins of a January 27 meeting with Foreign 
Secretary Shyam Saran, DCM expressed our hope that the 
 
SIPDIS 
January 18 and 20 cross-LOC shelling incidents (reftel) would 
not impede the ongoing Indo-Pak Composite Dialogue.  Saran 
responded that he understood the USG concern and was hopeful 
that the incidents represented a "one-time problem."  He 
reported that the GOI and GOP DGMOs had discussed the matter 
and agreed that the situation on the LOC needed to be 
improved.  Since then, Saran concluded, things had stabilized 
and all was "quiet for now."
