Track Two Dialogue
Building Regional Stability in South Asia
The Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies undertook a multi-phased project on the India-Pakistan relationship and mechanisms that could build confidence between the two countries. Between November 2008 and February 2010, when the official dialogue was suspended due to the attack on Mumbai, the IPCS facilitated four track two dialogues between opinion makers in India and Pakistan to discuss various aspects of the bilateral relationship. The latest round of dialogue, held on 8-9 February resulted in a common set of recommendations and has been widely reported in the press in India and Pakistan.
