New Delhi, 24/05/2002 (Agence Europe) - While fears of an imminent war between India and Pakistan appear to be dissipated over the last few hours, the European Commission Head of External Relations, Chris Patten was the first of a number of diplomats to visit the region this Friday. The British Foreign Affairs Minister Jack Straw has waited until next week and US Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Armitage until 4 June. Chris Patten met several Indian leaders, including Indian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Jaswant Singh, and called on Pakistan to take measures to stop Kashmiri terrorist activities, which New Delhi has accused of perpetrating attacks on India, using Pakistan as a base. He warned that the signs for the future did not look that promising. While calling on Pakistan to respect the resolutions of the Security Council against terrorism and the commitments made in January by the Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf, the European Commissioner declared that he believed that the, "credibility of Pakistani promises on these issues in India is pretty well zero…Unless we see progress in reduction in the level of infiltration (of militants) and a reduction in the level of violence in Jammu and Kashmir, the outlook is pretty bleak". After his meeting with Indian leaders, Mr Patten made known that India was denying that a report in the Hindustani Times was true, according to which it had decided to give Islamabad two months to prove that the Pakistanis were prepared to repress the Islamic activities. On Thursday, the EU CFSP High Representative stated in Copenhagen that the two nuclear powers should be sensible and avoid a confrontation in which the repercussions would be incalculable. In a statement to the press, Mr Solana said that they were very worried by the situation and were doing all they could to reduce tension in that part of the world.
