南亞印巴關係解凍，意味中俄結盟並非空穴來風？

前文講過，判斷中俄結盟是否有根據，可以參考印度和巴基斯坦的關係。俄國和中國在南亞各領一隻，十字對抗的格局延續了四十多年。中俄果真向結盟方向多走一步，印度和巴基斯坦的關係必然生變。以下是CNN文章節選。

India, Pakistan leaders meet, signal steps to rebuild trust

(CNN) -- Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif hailed his first one-on-one meeting Tuesday with India's newly elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "historic opportunity" for the two nations.

A firm but simple handshake had sent a message to the world on Monday that the heads of India and Pakistan were ready to talk.

And talk they did on Tuesday, in a meeting at Hyderabad House, a former palace in New Delhi, that lasted almost 50 minutes.

Briefing reporters after the encounter, Sharif described the meeting as "good and constructive" and "held in warm and cordial atmosphere."

Sharif said both countries should work to overcome their mutual mistrust, and that regional peace and stability were key to achieving their common goals of development.

Sharif said he intended "pick up the threads" of the Lahore Declaration, referring to a pledge both countries made in 1999 to cooperate more closely to ease tensions.

The Pakistani premier also said that accusations and counter-accusations are not productive -- a comment on the regular political back-and-forth between their two nations.

"We agreed that our meeting should be a historic opportunity for both our countries," he said.
