FILES) A filephoto dated 20 December 2003 of a Pakistani Ranger (R) and an Indian border security force soldier (L). India and Pakistan have taken a "step by step" approach and moved tentatively toward normalization of their relations in the past year, which has resulted in resumption of ambassadorial ties, restoration of land and air links. Pakistan and India are going to held talks in Islamabad from 16 to 18 Februay. Both countries have burnt their fingers badly in the past with overhyped and failed talks, swiftly followed by the familiar and tiresome blame game over the border. EPA/RAHAT DAR
