Pakistan & India agree Kartarpur Corridor meeting

    Pakistan and India have agreed a meeting to discuss the technical details over a new border crossing.

    The move comes after India postponed a meeting which was to be held on 2 April on the Pakistani side for talks over the Kartarpur Corridor.

    The crossing is to be built in order for Sikh’s from the Indian side of the border to be able to visit a shrine on the Pakistan side.

    The corridor is planned to be opened for pilgrims this year to commemorate the 550th birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism.
