Introduction Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna and the newly appointed Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar held talks in New Delhi on 27 July 2011. This meeting was part of a series of high-level meetings aimed at normalising relations between the two countries and bringing the relationship back on track. There have been a number of official high-level meetings since the Mumbai attacks of 2008, but this is the second time that the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan have met after the 2008 attacks. (The first meeting between Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna and the then Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi was held in Islamabad in July 2010.) 1 Dr Rajshree Jetly is Research Fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS) in the National University of Singapore.
