India-Pak negotiate informal exchange on Sir Creek

Islamabad: India and Pakistan exchanged “non-papers” during talks on the Sir Creek issue that ended today, in a bid to find an amicable settlement to the decades- old boundary dispute and agreed to meet again.
The non-papers? diplomatic parlance for negotiating texts informally circulated by countries to facilitate discussions without making any commitment to the contents? were exchanged as the two countries held their first round of talks on the Sir Creek issue in four years.
“Both sides exchanged non-papers in order to take their discussions forward, with a view to finding an amicable settlement of the issue. They agreed to meet again at a mutually convenient date,” said a joint statement issued at the end of the two-day parleys.
