【Wagah】The Directors-General of Military Operations(DGMO)s of India and Pakistan on Tuesday "reiterated the resolve and commitment'' of both sides to continue efforts for ensuring ceasefire, peace and tranquility on the Line of Control [LoC]."
At the meeting, the first between the DGMOs in 15 years, the two sides resolved to work towards improved communications between the two by re-energising "existing mechanisms," including their hotline contact.
The talks between the two military officials, held at Wagah in Pakistan, came at the end of a year of extraordinary tensions along the LoC threatening the 10-year-old ceasefire. The Indian side is led by Lt General Vinod Bhatia while Major Gen Aamer Riaz is heading the Pakistani side. A Brigadier and three Lieutenant Colonels from each side are also participating in the talks. The last DGMOs meeting was in 1998.
Pakistan military in a statement said that the decision for holding meeting between Pakistan and Indian DGMOs was taken on political level. Official sources here said that the meeting was scheduled to take place on the 'No Man's Land' at the Wagah-Attari border.
