On 18 April 2005, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met with President General Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan at a summit in New Delhi. Conscious of the historic opportunity created by the improved environment in relations and the overwhelming desire of the peoples of the two countries for durable peace, the two leaders held substantive talks.

In this spirit the issue of Jammu and Kashmir was addressed and the leaders agreed to continue these discussions in a sincere and purposeful and forward-looking manner for a final settlement.

In light of these positive developments and in the context of the visit to Brussels of Maj. Gen. (retd) Sardar Muhammed Anwar Khan, President of the State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry, Leader of the Opposition of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, EIAS is convened a Round Table meeting entitled Kashmir - What Role for the EU?
