1. (C) On the margins of a January 27 meeting with Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran, DCM expressed our hope that the
SIPDIS January 18 and 20 cross-LOC shelling incidents (reftel) would not impede the ongoing Indo-Pak Composite Dialogue. Saran responded that he understood the USG concern and was hopeful that the incidents represented a ""one-time problem."" He reported that the GOI and GOP DGMOs had discussed the matter and agreed that the situation on the LOC needed to be improved. Since then, Saran concluded, things had stabilized and all was ""quiet for now."" MULFORD
