There is cautious optimism in Islamabad that the thaw in relations with India is holding steady despite some wrinkles in the last few days. The confidence emanates from the fact that there is more to this thaw between the two adversarial neighbours than is known publicly.
According to Red Zone insiders who have been monitoring these developments very closely, the haphazard outcome generated last week by the meetings of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) and the federal cabinet injected an element of uncertainty in the ‘thawing process’ under way between Pakistan and India. However, these insiders say that while the process may have hit a temporary bump, it has not derailed. One reason for this confidence is that too much time and effort has already been invested by both sides into the quiet process of backchannel engagement.

ISLAMABAD:
Russia said on Wednesday it was ready to supply “special military equipment” to strengthen Pakistan’s counterterrorism abilities as the former Cold-War rivals agreed to conduct joint drills both on the mountains and at the sea.
This was the outcome of what was seen as a significant two-day visit by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to Islamabad, where he held wide-ranging talks with Pakistani civil and military authorities on Wednesday.
