India and Pakistan have begun two days of talks to resolve a long-running border dispute.

The talks in the Indian capital, Delhi, focus on Sir Creek, a narrow marsh area between the two countries.

The 96km (59-mile) disputed area lies between India's Gujarat state and Pakistan's southern Sindh province.

The talks on the maritime boundary dispute come a week after inconclusive talks on the demilitarisation of the Siachen Glacier between the two sides.

The creek, which opens up to the Arabian Sea, has been a point of contention for decades.

India says the creek boundary should be in the middle of the estuary, while Pakistan says the border should lie on the south-east bank.
