The Defence Minister, Mr. A.K.Antony has said that boosting bilateral relations with Pakistan through comprehensive talks is a good begining but miracles are not expected.

He was talking to newspersons in New Delhi this morning on the sidelines of the Fifth South Asia conference.

On China, Mr. Antony said that strategic dialogue may start next year. The dialogue was discontinued in 2008 following denial of visa to the Chief of the Northern Command to visit Beijing. The Defence Minister, however, expressed concern on the robust infrastructure coming up from the Chinese side on the Line of Actual Control.
