Mention some of the recent agreements between India and Pakistan. Can we be sure that the two countries are well on their way to a friendly relationship?

Solution
Some of the recent agreements between India and Pakistan are as follows:
 
  (i) The two countries have agreed to undertake confidence building measures to reduce the risk of war.

  (ii) Bus diplomacy initiative by India has led to openning of number of bus routes between the two countries.

  (iii) A train service has also been operational between two countries.
