Saudi's mediation in Indo-Pak talks!

Ever since independence from the British rule in 1947, the relations between the two neighboring countries, India and Pakistan have remained strained primarily for want of resolution of Kashmir issue. Quoting the post 1971 War, Simla Agreement, India insists that the resolution of the Kashmir issue and all other issues has to be undertaken through bilateral talks. These bilateral talks have not borne any positive outcome to date.

The recent visit of Indian Prime Minister to Saudi Arabia signalling stronger ties between the two countries has raised the possibility of Saudis mediating between India and Pakistan.
