ather-ali_pradeep-kumarNEW DELHI: Top defence officials from India and Pakistan kicked off talks on Monday to discuss a disputed Himalayan glacier that brought the neighbours to the brink of war in 1984.

The two-day meeting in New Delhi between Indian Defence Secretary Pradeep Kumar and his Pakistani counterpart Syed Ather Ali is part of the slow-moving peace process aimed at bringing lasting stability to South Asia.

An Indian defence ministry official said the two defence secretaries met behind closed doors in New Delhi on Monday where they were to discuss the highly militarised 6,300-metre (20,800-foot) Siachen glacier.

At the weekend, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the leadership in Islamabad must "wake up" to the "terror machine", while Home Minister P. Chidambaram warned last week that Pakistan was becoming a "fragile" state.
