SIMLA, India (AP) - Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi and
President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
reached their first peace agree-
ment early today and promised
future negotiations on the other
issues between their two na-
tions, including Kashmir and
the Pakistani POWs in India.
The agreement, which came
after five days of talks in this
Himalayan resort, said Indian
and Pakistani forces will with-
draw from the territories they
seized last December along In-
dia’s western border except in
Kashmir. There they will main-
tain the cease-fire line estab-
lished by the two-week war in
December.
Peace Pledged
The pact also contained a
pledge to settle all disputes bi-
laterally and peacefully, and
said steps should be taken to
restore and normalize relations,
which Pakistan severed Dec. 6
when India recognized Bangla-
desh, the former East Paki-
stan.
The agreement gave no time-
table. but called for measures
to resume communications and
air links, promote travel be-
tween their countries, reopen
trade, and carry’ out scientific
and cultural exchanges.
It said Mrs. Gandhi and
Bhutto would meet again "at a
mutually convenient lime in the
future and that in the mean-
while, the representatives of
the two sides will meet to dis-
cuss further the normalization
of relations, including the ques-
tions of repatriation of prison-
ers of war and civilian inter-
nees, a final settlement of Jam-
mu and Kashmir and the re-
sumption of diplomatic rela-
tions.”
Territory Seized
Excluding Kashmir, India
during the December war
seized a total of 5,139 square
miles of territory in West Paki-
stan, while Pakistan look 69
square miles of Indian territo-
ry. In Kashmir, where the
troops will remain in position,
