Time PM took a Call on Trip to Pakistan

By M. K. Bhadrakumar
The ‘reset’ of the Russian- American relationship is a good starting point for a critique of the India- Pakistan dialogue process. The ‘reset’ is in the doldrums largely because it is at a standstill. A push by Washington to galvanise Russia’s membership of the World Trade Organisation; a gesture to relegate to history the cold- war relic known as Jackson- Vanik Amendment of 1974, which imposed trade embargo on USSR; a visit by President Barack Obama to Moscow before the campaigns for the presidential elections in Russia (March 2012) and the US (November 2012) get under way — any of these would keep the ‘reset’ rolling. The dynamics won’t be lost on an uncertain journey through uncharted waters.
