Ambassador Jalil Abbas Jilani on India-Pakistan Relations
Tue, June 24th, 2014
Washington, DC
As Narendra Modi’s government takes shape in New Delhi, questions abound about the future of the India-Pakistan relationship. Despite Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s promise to normalize ties with India, relations between the two rivals have changed little in the year since he took office. Will Modi’s election lead to a new start between India and Pakistan, or could it instead mark the beginning of a new phase of deterioration? How will domestic politics in Pakistan influence its India policy? Pakistani Ambassador Jalil Abbas Jilani discussed the prospects for peace between the two countries.
