Proposal for meeting of Pak-India DGMOs under study

January 16, 2018 13:32

Pakistan is considering a proposal for a meeting with Indias military operations chief for lowering of tensions along the Line of Control and the Working Boundary through fresh confidence-building measures.

A Pakistani defence ministry official told the Senate defence committee on Monday that a fresh proposal of DGMOs (Director Generals of Military Operations) meeting is being considered.

Pakistan-India DGMOs have a frequent hotline contact, but they last met four years ago at Wagah. The Wagah meeting took place after a break of 14 years. That meeting was also held for discussing ways to ensure peace along the LoC and WB.

One of the confidence-building measures being considered for the planned meeting of DGMOs is calibre reduction of the arms being used at LoC.
