NEW DELHI, AUG 5. India and Pakistan today held exploratory discussions on demilitarising the Siachen Glacier and deliberated on the contours of a joint statement that is likely to be released tomorrow. Senior officials termed the meetings today a "mind and body language study mission'' by Pakistan following the change in the Government here and felt that "nothing substantial'' was likely to emerge from the talks. They said the officials from both sides made it a point to refer to the ceasefire since November 25 last year. The two sides, assisted by naval officials, are scheduled to hold talks over the weekend on the Sir Creek demarcation dispute in the Rann of Kutch. The interaction opened with a meeting between the two Defence Secretaries, Ajay Vikram Singh and Hamid Nawaz Khan. The Pakistani team called on the National Security Adviser, J. N. Dixit, and along with the Indian delegation met the Defence Minister, Pranab Mukherjee, to formally apprise him of the discussions.
