Detente process

Sir, — Both Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Pervez Musharraf should be congratulated for taking the process of détente a few steps forward when they met in New York. As you have rightly said in the editorial, "Détente as an imperative" (Sept. 28) it must be pursued without any let-up.

It is worth recalling what Mikhail Gorbachev said in his tribute to Ronald Reagan: "In the final outcome, our insistence on dialogue proved fully justified. I find that the main lesson of those years is the need for dialogue, which must not be broken off whatever the challenges and complications we have to face."
