Upcoming summit
NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee yesterday said he hoped the upcoming visit by Pakistani military ruler General Pervez Musharraf to New Delhi would help solve the 54-year-old Kashmir dispute.
"I am hopeful we will find a solution to the Kashmir dispute," Vajpayee told a televised public gathering in the western Indian state of Gujarat.
Bilateral dialogue between New Delhi and Islamabad has been frozen for more than two years since the two sides fought a border conflict in Kashmir's Kargil region in 1999.
Fresh attack
SKOPJE: Macedonian helicopter gunships launched a fresh attack yesterday on Matejce, a village partly controlled by ethnic Albanian rebels in the north of the country, an army spokesman said.
Colonel Blagoja Markovski said the Macedonian army would use "all possible means" to retake the village which the rebels occupied 10 days ago.
Deal renewal
BAGHDAD: Iraq said yesterday it would only resume oil exports under a regular six-month renewal of the UN oil-for-food programme, after rejecting a one-month extension decided by the Security Council.
Iraq, which has said it will stop pumping oil under the programme from Monday, "will not resume exports unless oil-for-food is renewed for six months", Oil Minister Amer al-Rashid told a press conference.
