New Delhi, Aug 9 : As a part of bilateral confidence-building measures, the two-day Indo-Pak maritime talks will begin here today.
The meeting will be held between Indian Coast Guard (ICG) Director-General, Vice-Admiral R F Contractor and Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) Rear-Admiral Tayyab Ali Dogar to promote co-operation in the maritime domain.
The two sides will discuss a set of related issues like violation of exclusive economic zones, transgressions by fishermen into each others' territorial waters, pollution incidents and their control, and exchange of information about smuggling and trafficking.
The talks are being held for the first time after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Pakistan and India in October 2005 to establish communication links between PMSA and ICG.
As a part of an MoU, a hotline communication linkup has already been set up.
