Pakistan today claimed its differences with India on the Siachen issue had been boiled down to "minor details" that the two countries were trying to sort out. "The two sides are talking to each other. We understand each other's positions and we both feel demilitarisation will be good and we both feel it is a question of minor details," Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri said in an interview to state-run PTV. "If there are suspicions on each other's minds, it can be satisfied," he said. Observing that any solution to pull back troops from Siachen by both sides depended on the political will of their leadership, Kasuri said, "If there is to be demilitarisation, which is what could be the end objective, legalities in demilitarisation are resolvable, I can say that with conviction. "(But I) cannot say more because it is about minor details and some times those minor details are also important. I hope that will not be the case," Kasuri said. Kasuri's earlier claims that India and Pakistan were close to clinching a deal to demilitarise Siachen had been denied by New Delhi.
