The relations between Pakistan and India have remained relatively static over the last decade. Tensions on the line of control in Kashmir continue to stress political leaders and the military on both sides, whereas the mutual motivations to improve trade and business opportunities have increasingly become positive factors. In a conference held in Dubai in October 2013, participants representing diverse sectors from both countries developed Future Scenarios of Pakistan-India Relations. The scenarios for the upcoming 10 years were elaborated along the key areas of Political Relations and Foreign Policy, Military and Security Cooperation, Economic and Trade Relations, and Cultural Exchange.
