Along with growing economic ties, the trip could be a sign of improving relations between the nuclear-armed rivals. 巴基斯坦总统扎尔达里4月8日将会晤印度总理辛格。这将是巴基斯坦国家元首自从2005年以来对印度的首次访问。随着两国的经济交往日益密切，扎尔达里的此行可能将是这两个核国家对手之间正在改善关系的迹象。 President Zardaris itinerary During President Zardaris one-day visit to India Sunday, he will have lunch with Prime Minister Singh in New Delhi, then travel south to visit a Sufi shrine in the city of Ajmer. 在扎尔达里星期天即将对印度展开的一天访问中，他将在新德里和辛格总理共进午餐，之后将前往印度南方，在阿杰梅尔市造访一处苏菲派圣地。 There is no concrete agenda for the meeting but political analyst Hasan Askari Rizvi says he expects a positive first meeting between the two leaders. “They will not be under pressure to produce results because it is an informal meeting, he said. However this will enable them to talk about the ongoing process of normalizing the relationship.” 目前还没有两国首脑会晤的具体议事日程安排，但是政治分析人士哈桑·里兹维表示，他预计这两位领导人之间的首次会晤将是积极的。他说：“因为这是一次非正式会晤，因此他们没有一定要取得会谈成果的压力。不过，这样一来，就能让他们商讨正在进行的实现两国关系正常化的进程。” This will be President Zardaris first visit to India since he took office in 2008. The last Pakistani president to visit India was General Pervez Musharraf, who came on an official visit in 2005. 这将是扎尔达里总统2008年执政以来对印度的首次访问。上一位访问印度的巴基斯坦总统是穆沙拉夫，他在2005年对印度进行了正式访问。 The nuclear armed neighbors have had a tense and troubled relationship since the two nations gained independence from Britain in 1947, and have fought three wars over the disputed region of Kashmir. 这两个拥有核武器的邻国自从两国1947年在英国统治下获得独立以来，关系就一直紧张并且麻烦重重，就有争议的克什米尔问题爆发了三次战争。 Improving ties, building trust A peace process that began in 2004 was derailed in 2008 when 10 militants laid siege to the Indian city of Mumbai, killing 166 people. India blamed the attack on Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. 始于2004年的两国和平进程，由于2008年10名激进份子围攻印度城市孟买，导致166人丧生的事件而受阻。
