ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and India discussed cooperation in efforts to fight terrorism Tuesday as part of a wide-ranging dialogue aimed at resolving outstanding disputes between the nuclear-armed rivals.

The talks between top Interior Ministry officials come after a spate of bomb attacks in both countries in recent months.

"The agenda of the talks include anti-terrorism measures, anti-narcotics measures, the exchange of civilian prisoners and cooperation between the FIA and the CBI," a Pakistani Interior Ministry spokesman said, referring to two countries' main crime investigation agencies.

"It is certainly a confidence-building measure."

The one-day security talks come a day before Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi is due to travel to India for a four-day visit, during which he will hold talks on all bilateral issues, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
