Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif agreed Wednesday during a sideline meeting at the Heart of Asia conference in Islamabad to begin comprehensive bilateral dialogue focused on expanding trade and cooperation. Even more significant, Swaraj confirmed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi would attend next year's South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation conference in Islamabad, marking the first time in more than a decade that an Indian prime minister has traveled to Pakistan. "The entire world has been waiting for India and Pakistan to change for a long time," Swaraj said. The wait dates back to midnight, Aug. 15, 1947, when the British withdrawal from the Indian subcontinent ended with the partition of colonial India into the independent nations of India and Pakistan.
