New Delhi: Pakistan and Indias border officials will meet next month in New Delhi for a bi-annual meeting, Pakistan Rangers officials told The Express Tribune on Wednesday.
As per border ground rules 1961, a routine, biannual meeting of IG Border Security Force (BSF) and DG Pakistan Rangers is scheduled at New Delhi from September 9 to September 13, the official said.
To coordinate the modalities of the September meeting, a prior meeting was held on Tuesday between representatives of Rangers and BSF at Wagah border.
The meeting comes despite the last-minute scuttling of talks between the national security advisers of Pakistan and India. The cancellation of NSA talks also cast uncertainty on the proposed meetings between senior military officials of the two countries.
The separate meetings between Director General Military Operations (DGMOs) and heads of Pakistan Rangers and Indias Border Security Force (BSF) were part of the understanding reached between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in their meeting in the Russian city of Ufa last month.
