EU welcomes India-Pakistan Bus service link

Luxembourg, 18 February 2005

The Presidency of the European Union welcomes the 16th February agreement reached between India 
and Pakistan on the establishment of a bus link across the line of control between Srinagar and 
Muzaffarabad. It congratulates both countries on this achievement. 

The EU Presidency considers this decision as an important step away from confrontation towards 
conciliation. Cooperation between both countries is today an imperative their people strongly desire. 
Instead of a conflict region, Kashmir might become a peace bridge between both countries and their 
people.

The Presidency encourages India and Pakistan to continue to make steady progress on the remaining 
issues and looks forward to the opening of additional means of communication, including for trade.
