A summit of South Asian leaders has opened in Sri Lanka, with
tensions between India and Pakistan seen eclipsing regional talks
on trade, terrorism and poverty.
Pakistan has denied allegations
its spies helped bomb the Indian embassy in Afghanistan, and there
have been renewed border tensions over Kashmir. Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh is due to meet later with his Pakistani
counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani to discuss the strained peace
process between the two countries. The discussions, the first
between the two premiers, will be the highest-level meeting of the
nuclear-armed neighbours in 15 months.
