Information trouvée : J. N. Dixit, India's National Security Adviser and the nation's pointman for peace
initiatives with rival Pakistan, died Monday, the Prime Minister's office said. He
was 68. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh picked Dixit for the national security post
after the Congress party-led government was voted into power in May. Dixit was involved
in negotiations with Pakistan on settling the decades-old Kashmir dispute as well
as with China on settling a border dispute that had triggered a war in 1962 between
the giant neighbors. Dixit, a career diplomat and defense expert, joined the Congress
party after his retirement as India's foreign secretary, the top bureaucratic job
in the External Affairs Ministry. He had helped craft the Congress agenda on defense,
security and foreign policy before the national elections for the lower house of Parliament
that put Sonia Gandhi's party back in power. He also served as India's high commissioner
to Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In 1991, he was appointed foreign secretary
under the Congress government. He retired from the foreign service in 1994.
