the more they talk, less they’ll bite. And the more they talk, the closer they can get to understanding each other.
ISLAMABAD: This is with reference to your report of January 8 titled “Stalled peace talks: Pakistan, India break the ice.
In the context of India-Pakistan relations — the more they talk, the less they’ll bite. And the more they talk, the closer they can get to understanding each other’s perceptions and moving closer to taking steps that the other side would welcome. This is not to endorse ‘talking just for the sake of talking’ but to underline the point that, given the lengthy periods in which there has been no dialogue, any contact is better than none.
