Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
NEW DELHI, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee said Friday southern Asian countries should strive for open borders and eventually a common currency.
In his remarks opening a two-day conference on peace and south Asian progress, Vajpayee cited the increased people-to-people contact between India and Pakistan as a reflection of "intense desire for amity and goodwill."
The Press Trust of India quoted the prime minister as saying it was time to "dispel unwarranted suspicions" and create greater economic alliances.
"Once we reach that stage, we would not be far from mutual security cooperation, open borders and even a single currency," Vajpayee said.
Among those attending the New Delhi conference were former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
