NEW DELHI — India on Friday handed over to Pakistan a new dossier of evidence related to the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, ahead of talks next week between top foreign ministry officials.
India's foreign ministry separately announced a meeting next Thursday between Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao and her Pakistani counterpart Salman Bashir as the two nations look to build on a recent thaw in relations.
Tension between the countries stems most recently from the Mumbai attacks, which India blames on Pakistan-based militants who it believes Islamabad has done too little to bring to justice.
Another dossier of evidence related to the attacks known as "26/11" in India, which saw 166 people killed, was handed over on Friday, a Pakistan embassy source in New Delhi told AFP, asking not to be named.
