Terming the recent talks between India and Pakistan as encouraging, a top Pentagon official has expressed hope that the discussions will continue.

“I’m actually encouraged very specifically with the discussions between Pakistan and India in recent weeks and months,” Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said at a news conference here.

Mullen was referring to recent talks held between the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan in New Delhi on July 27.

“At least if I understand both governments, those are going to continue, and I hope that they do. I consider that to be a very positive step,” Mullen said.
