"The Indo-Pakistan border is one of the world’s

hotspots. At heights of 5,000 metres, thousands of

soldiers from both countries face each other --

sometimes separated by a mere 100 metres. Prof. Dr.

Hermann Kreutzmann, a geopolitical expert, spoke to

Deutsche Welle about the current peace process

Prof. Dr. Kreutzmann worked in northern Pakistan for over

20 years. He is a member of the Research Group for

Contemporary South Asia and teaches anthropogeography at

Berlin University."
